I'm looking for a TRUE Rastafarian.

For my stupid Jesus religion class, I need to interview someone of a non-christian religion.
And of course I've chosen to interview a Rasta. Unfortunately, I live in eastern Washington; which is not exactly a hotbed for Rastafarian religious practices.
So, if you consider yourself a true follower of Haile Selassie, eat I-tal, and want to end up in Zion, please let me know so I can spread some knowledge of your beliefs at my school.

But if you just blaze or have dreadlocks, don't waste my time. Smoking doesn't make you Rasta, you're just like every other person on NS.

^ yeah IDK why you didn't just hit up a forum like that in the first place. There aren't any rastas on NS. I did have dreadlocks in high school though lol.

Rasta is dumb anyway its basically the same thing as Christianity.

Oh. Actually, I just realized that you can't even do Rasta. It is a Christian religion so you shouldn't be able to do it for that class.

I'm not 100% sure on this but, I recall reading that Rasta's don't believe in heaven but "Zion"

Rastas say that Jesus Christ was black, and that white Christian society (or Babylon) has commonly depicted him as white for centuries in order to suppress the truth and gain world dominion over all peoples.

Some Rastas accept the Christian doctrine that God incarnated onto the Earth in the form of Jesus Christ, to give his teachings to humanity. However, they often feel his teachings were corrupted by Babylon.

They also believe in Reincarnation which is not believed in the Christian religions.

^ Their holy doctrine is The Bible I believe, they just interpret it differently. I'm pretty sure that at least makes them a sect of Christianity.

On another note... We traveled past a Haitian town on the island of Eleuthera today. Saw many Rastafarian's around town and cruisin' with rolled blunts... Seemed like likely candidates! Let me know

It's going to be hard finding one.  Even in Jamaica, only about 6% of the population are Rasta.
