1. occasionally I smoke marijuana, usually on special occasions or to get closer to Jah
2. I am white, we are all Jah's children regardless of skin color
3. i don't know if people exactly look up to me but i know many people value Rastafarian culture
4. Reggae is very popular amongst rasta culture, i personally listen to many forms of music (reggae, rock, metal, whatever i feel like listening to)
5. I wouldn't change anything about rasta culture, i think its fine as is
6. Haile Selassie is a very important person in rasta culture if you are interested in Rastafari you should do some research on him
7. Bob Marley is probably the most well known rasta in modern culture i cant really answer for others on how important he is
8. well thats a very broad question. the typical rasta (in my opinion) is someone that loves god, wants peace amongst all people, and loves nature.
9. i think the most well known rasta tradition is the smoking of ganja (marijuana) mostly because that is what people first think when they hear the word rasta
10. I just decided that this religion best suited me and my existing beliefs.


ps. your English seems fine to me

1. No, its not for me
2. Yes, the colour of a mans skin should not matter anymore than the colour of his eyes.
3. Ini presume there are points where people look up to me, but perhaps Ini wrong.
4. RastafarI shouldn't have a large impact on musical taste, i do however enjoy reggae, dub, dancehall, roots as well as metal and rock.
5. Ini can't think of anything that there is to change, but nothing is perfect.
6. The big hero for RastafarI's is Haile Selassie I, but everyone has their individual heroes.
7. Ini agree that Bob Marley helped spread the culture of RastafarI but Ini don't see him as being too important, as important as Peter Tosh, and Lucky Dube to me.
8. So much to say for this, I think loving Jah about sums this up.
9. The most known "RastafarI tradition" (its in the bible any Christian could see it as tradition) is the smoking of cannabis, its most known because of common stoners seeing Bob Marley or others smoking cannabis or singing about it in music.
10. Loving Jah, and seeing that everything in this culture/religion fits Ini needs.

Bless Up

the waters run deep. the roots are deep. in all of us.

mystery and glory of the almighty god is the center of giving thanks and praises everyday.
to wake up every morning is a blessing.

ganja (the tree of jah) is a plant to balance ones state of mind and considered a sacrament.

dig deeper than these replies please.
