Re: This link is on a Ras Tafari site?

greetings and bless-ed love to all the I's.
belated new year greetings also
haven't been able to post for awhile so i am glad to be back.

this sis is very undone to see this statement.....

"Many Afrocentric Rastas find themselves in a different relation with the figure of 'Selassie I' than when they first began their Rasta journey. Worshiping Selassie as the One God either becomes impossible for them, or they view this metaphorically, or they engage in vigorous rationalizations and mental acrobatics, for the sake of Rasta unity. It is possible that the symbol of Selassie will fade away altogether from Rasta, viewed as something that made sense for its time, but is no longer helpful. There are many reasons why Rastas may come to the view that the worship of Selassie is outmoded."

how can HIM be metaphoric?
HIM is not a FIGURE, seen as a pope mode statue on a mantel.....
how can praising HIM become impossible?
how could HIM fade away?
how could HIM become outmoded?
if these things are thoughts that are in a ones mind, then they were never rasta in the first place.
they are either fake-I's....trustafarians....dreads....NOT RASTA
