Religion of the Week - Rastafarianism
The religion of the week is Rastafarianism. This religion grew out of Jamaica in the 1950's and has evolved over time from its original black supremacist stance to become a more racially inclusive religion. Rastafarians regard Ras Tafari (Haile Selassie) as a divine prophet, grow their hair long, smoke weed (ganja) and listen to reggae music.
Really it seems like a pretty cool religion, until you realize that the weed smoking is probably only included as part of the religion because you'd have to be really high to consider Haile Selassie a divine prophet. He wasn't even a good emperor. Hello, if your armies can't stand up to Mussolini's Italian juggernaut, you're probably not divine. Even the Albanians defeated Mussolini for fuck sake. Sorry Rastas.
Conversion - Declined

Who do you think you are to comment that way on someone's religion? I'm not a Rasta but atleast I respect people who are. Just the fact that you find some new negative thing to say about the world every week proves how much of a loser you really are. I'd be suprised if you any friends at all. Life is good, the world is beautiful don't be so busy looking at the bad you never see the GOOD!
