Well Christians worship a man that has been dead 2000 years. It isnt true that Selassie denied association with the movement, he remained dissassociated with it but that is something entirely different. His primary duty was to his Ethiopian subjects because his job was to be Emperor and he couldn't have abandoned that to become a cult leader and if he had the Ratsa s would have lost faith in HIM. I dont think a desire to smoke weed is what makes a Rasta, there are for more weed smokers than Rastas in the world who feel no need to be Rastas or for the most part justify there use of weed. More importantly Rasta is so much more than smoking weed, as Christianity is so much more than drinking wine. So I would guess from your comments that you dont understand where Rasta is coming from.
