I was going to argue in favor of Rastafarianism, but then I read about it on Wikipedia and I think it is pretty stupid. Really stupid. I mean, they seem very spiritual and I'm cool with that. But believing that Haile Selassie is god incarnate when he said he wasn't? In most religions the prophets and such don't deny their status as a prophet, that would just be silly. Also, the philosophy that smoking your brain cells away and giving yourself lung cancer brings you closer to God. They believe in the Nazarite Vow which includes not drinking or cutting your hair, but they can smoke pot? That seems sort of hypocritical to me.
That said, I fucking love Bad Brains.
Big ups to marleypumpkin for being mature enough not to respond to this thread. He's getting rep for that.
