"For the most part, Rastafari is against all Kongo and Orisha religions, and usually intolerant of their ideas."

this is a pretty broad statement. I am of the Rastafari faith, and I embrace all people no matter their spiritual pursuits. If one seeks to live right-then more power to them.

"When people condemn them, they are condemning an entire culture, in essence"

this is true also when one condemns Christians or any other religions/livities/or faiths. it is far time that people no longer generalize people by their particular faiths. There are unholy "Rastas", "Christians," "Muslims", "Obeah,"etc. It is what is in the heart of man/woman that matters-not their spiritual affiliation.

IanI black people can reason all day about the validity of ones particular faiths-but at the end of the day-it is the work that one puts in to uplift their fellow man that counts.
