Kwenye wimbo wake Who the cap fit kuna mahala kaimba "......who Jah bless no one curse...." Jah ni Mungu maana yake aliamini uwepo wake na kwamba kama yeye kakuandikia hakuna wa kuzuia/ziba

Hivi how can we be sure that mtu akiimba au akimtaja "Jah" anakua anarefer direct to "God/Mungu"
Do Jah and God display the same qualities in the same manner? Na hizi qualities tukizipima katika mizani ya mantiki/logic zitatupa any valid conculusion? Au simply hii ni miungu tu na ndo maana kila mmoja una jina lake kama God, Allah, El, Mungu, Kyala, Nguruvi, Yahwe, Ba'al.....?

Rastafari haina culture yeyote yenye mashiko. Niambia kwenye mazishi yake kulikua na nini kilichoashiria culture ya Rasta?
Usiamini vitu juu juu. Niambie kitabu gani umesoma na mimi nisome nijieleweshe. Hivi vi-sect vya namna hiyo viko vingi tuu!
Bob alikua mvuta bangi wa kawaida tu, na akili yake iko hivyo hivyo mpaka kifo chake

Kiranga, it has been awhile!! You know as a teenager, I was very fascinated by Rastafarianism. Practically, back in early 80s, most of the kids around my neighborhood were Rasta impersonators! Back then, I would have explained everything about Rastafarian as I used to read books on the subject, had all reggae songs you can imagine (and I still do collect). Never smoked that shit, though. I don't fck around with anything that can affect my brain, and that includes alcohol! My father, a Pan-Africanist, used to subscribe to magazines and newspapers that sometimes carried articles on Rastas (no Internet back then). My biggest admiration for Rastafarian was not in their belief, but rather in their "look to Africa" theology as opposed to Jerusalem or Mecca!
Back to the topic...
Rasta theology is a modification of Judea-Christian theology with Afrocentric elements. Basically, Rastafarians see themselves as part of the children of Israel, with an African King taking the leadership as the embodiment of God on earth, hence the say "the might God is a living man". Haile Selassie's elevation to a "living God" status was a result of Marcus Garvey of Jamaica prophecy, who said "look to Africa a king will be crowned", and three years after that (I believe?) Haile Selassie was crowned in Ethiopia.
Haile Selassie's importance was enhanced by the fact that he is the great-great grandson of Menelik; the son who was born from the union of King Solomon and Queen Makeba of Sheba (Ethiopia), which implied that King Selassie is in the same bloodline as Jesus, King David, and Ibrahim.
Therefore, to answer your question...YES, Bob Marley as a Rasta did believe in God, the same god that made the world in 7 days! This is the same God that the Jews and Christians (and Muslims, who also follow the Ibrahimic tradition) believe on. The only difference is that Rastafarians call him JAH, who came again on earth as Haile Selassie, just like the way Christians believe in the embodiment of God in Jesus while on earth.
Few points worth mentioning…
>Many Ethiopians dispute the claim that Haile Selassie is in the same bloodline as Menelik, Solomon and Queen Makeba.
>Marcus Garvey's views were the basis of Pan-African movement and the inspiration of many African liberators. He is considered the first person to talk about the importance of unity among all African people, those at home and those in diaspora. A true African hero (see my avatar 😉 ).

But yet remember that the only person who claimed to be son of God (Jesus) he called his deciples friends(which is very humanly term) Likewise Adam was made in God image (which represent a MAN potrait) coming back to Bob marleys verses, first remember the christianity came along with colonisations, enslavement, exploitations of beautifull people of continenet of Africa, worst of all they taught our ancestors to be humble and respect the higher authority using the word of God, specifically jesus that why Bob Said (We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, lord)
It don't mean Bob did not respected God as higher authority but the teaching of early christianity based onto grorifying human interest using the name of JESUS
Almighty god is a living man Man in normal sense represent being not sex universal use of a word MAN will include all sex women and men (MAN) as you said he came to MOSES with a complicated I AM WHO I AM, you can see the word ALMIGHTY was used in his verse that define that he knows who is God but in context of his image actually being a living one.
Religion does not define the content of it all in life but it only gives directives on how to do it better

Kiranga;
Kama unaweza kunijibu maswali haya utakuwa umenisaidia sana
1. Hivi, wewe upo au haupo?
2. Kama upo, ni nini kinachopelekea useme kwamba upo?
3. Kama haupo, ni nini kinachopelekea useme kwamba haupo?
4. Whether upo au haupo, nini in/dependency ya quantum pertubations (QP) theory katika uwepo wako au kutokuwepo kwako (I mean kama upo, je unadhani QP (which is nothing but a human-developed theory), inategemeana na uwepo au kutokuwepo kwako? Je ungeweza kutokuwepo halafu QP yenyewe ikawepo. Is QP dependent on your peresence anyway?

Imagination being not knowledge is right but is said to be more important than knowledge, if you still admire Einstein arguments
