Rastafarianism is a religious movement born out of the black slums of Jamaica.
Answer2:There are different groups of Rastafarians, each with its own ideas. But basically they all agree on one thing-that the late emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, that he was the King of kings and Lord of lords and the conquering "Lion that is of the tribe of Judah."-Revelation 5:5.
Rastafarian group that called itself Creation Heights-view themselves as part of creation-just as the animals and plants are. Lightning, thunder, and other natural phenomena were viewed by with reverence and awe-as though God were speaking.
They refuse to eat meat, fish, or anything of that sort, the idea being that these things die and rot, and so would those who eat them. On the other hand, vegetables, such as spinach, keep growing after their stalks are cut. So those who feed on such things have the potential for everlasting life. Only if a person committed some grievous sin would he experience death.
One group sees the white man as part of creation but inferior to the black man, who is 'lord of creation. The philosophy is a simple one. There is no leader except the "divine" Haile Selassie, whose precoronation name was Ras Tafari (hence the name Rastafarian).
