If you're not going to comment or bring up some personal tie-in, don't post like this. It's not cool with me to mirror content from other sites, except perhaps as footnote to some discussion here. Last I checked, no one's really harping on Rastafarianism...

OK, Corey. Sorry to trouble you.

Here are the comments:

1. I trusted that Dwayne would be attracted to this thread and link, like a moth to a flame.

2. Rastafarianism is a regional expression of Ethiopean Orthodoxy, seeing King Hali Salasi as being from the lineage of David.

3. Bob Marley's widdow is Orthodox. Bob Marley was baptized orthodox on the plaine ride back to where he died of cancer.

4. Rastafarians are great Bible readers.

5. By my best judgement Dwayne will be very glad that I posted thiis thread here.

6. I care about D., and since T. is getting more play right now I cared to give D. some props -- and the above post was how I saw best fit to do so.

7. Thanks for hosting this board, Corey!

- B

Whoever knows and recognizes how near God’s Kingdom is to him may say with Jacob, “God is in this place, and I knew it not.”
Meister Eckhart, "The Nearness of the Kingdom"

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the Kingdom of God is within you.

And I want to definitely second that...

Thanks so much for hosting this thing for so long, Corey.

Where would we we ALL be if you hadn't?

Then why didn't you simply shoot it straight to D instead of proclaiming to everyone who may not be interested///

Its also for the other people (several) who I think are interested in Bob Marley, nis music, and that historical wave; and in finding out some interesting background to it. Its both radical and conservative at the same time -- and could have also gone under the "Tearing Down the Walls" heading..
