"I know what you are saying about natural livity of Rasta. The thing that gets to me is, and I am not pointing to you per say, that certain ones chant down the Bible, or anything Judeo-Christian, quick to point out the faults, as well as the human character of Haile Selassie I, or certain cultural trends in Ethiopia and those faults, but then go on to glorify Egypt and Egyptian philosophy as if it was faultless. Pharoas marrying their daughters, slavery etc...Egypt was an imperial power, and therefore privy to the faults of empires and man-made governments."

* Agreed - Every gov't on earth is "privy to the faults of empires and man-made governments." Rasta livity should be striving to TRANSCEND that by living in accordance with the principles set forth thousands of years ago by the original dwellers in the house of Rasta - who have overcome the world as Jesus Christ exemplified and living out of the heart in accordance with the divine will of the Most High.

History should not scare us - and nothing should be held in idolatry - as all things of this world will pass away in the dwelling place of Rasta a.k.a. ZION - the sacred tabernacle of the Most High within I and I.
