Porque odiar algo???



Modern Rastafarian beliefs

From the 1930s until the mid 1970s most Rastafarians accepted the traditional Rastafari beliefs.

But in 1973 Joseph Owens published a more modern approach to Rastafari beliefs. In 1991 Michael N. Jagessar revised Owens's ideas, devising his own systematic approach to Rastafari theology and providing an insight into the changes in the group's beliefs.

The key ideas in contemporary Rastafari are:

-Thehumanity of God and the divinity of man
-his refers to the importance of Haile Selassie who is perceived by Rastafarians as a living God. Likewise it emphasises the concept of God revealing himself to his followers through his humanity.
God is found within every man .
Rastafarians believe that God makes himself known through humanity. According to Jagessar "there must be one man in whom he exists most eminently and completely, and that is the supreme man, Rastafari, Selassie I."
God in history
It is very important to see all historical facts in the context of God's judgement and workings.
Salvation on earth .
Salvation for Rastafarians is an earthly idea, rather than heavenly.
The supremacy of life .
Human nature is very important to Rastafarians and they should preserve and protect it.
Respect for nature .
This idea refers to the importance and respect Rastafarians have for animals and the environment, as mirrored in their food laws.
The power of speech .
Speech is very important to Rastafarians, as it enables the presence and power of God to be felt.
Evil is corporate .
Sin is both personal and corporate. This means organisations such as the International Monetary Fund are responsible for Jamaica's fiscal situation, and that oppression is in part influenced by them.
Judgement is near .
This corresponds to the nearness of judgement for Rastafarians when they will be given greater recognition.
The priesthood of Rastafarians .
Rastafarians are the chosen people of God and are on earth to promote his power and peacefulness.

(Joseph Owens The Rastafarians of Jamaica, 1973 pp. 167-70 and Jagessar, JPIC and Rastafarians, 1991 pp. 15-17.)

To modern Rastafari the most important doctrine is belief in the divinity of Haile Selassie I. Although some Rastafarians still regard Haile Selassie as the black messiah, many modern adherents do not see this as central to their faith.

Haile Selassie's death in 1975 was described by his followers as his 'disappearance', since they refused to believe he has passed away. Following his death and the increased acceptance of Jamaican culture in society many Rastafarian beliefs have been modified.

According to Nathaniel Samuel Murrell:

...brethren have reinterpreted the doctrine of repatriation as voluntary migration to Africa, returning to Africa culturally and symbolically, or rejecting Western values and preserving African roots and black pride. Nathaniel Samuel Murrell in 'Chanting Down Babylon', 1998, page 6
The previous belief that white people are evil has diminished and is no longer central to Rastafarian belief systems.

The idea of Babylon has also developed to represent all oppressive organisations and countries in the world.

¿Por que no odiar algo que ataca derechos que te pertenecen?

[Yomismo]

Dos preguntas Juan
¿Qué son los derechos? ¿Concepciones abstractas que permiten al Estado delimitar lo que podemos y lo que no podemos hacer como una herramienta más de manipulación y de sumisión para mantener el sistema establecido?

¿Y siendo eso qué derechos ataca el rastafarismo

[clandestino]

me he gustado tu aportacion kampe.....subscribo.

[juan sin texo]

Yo mismo, a mi los derechos no me los marca ningun estado. Me refiero a derechos naturales, derechos que se adquieren por el simple hecho de ser persona.

Derechos como la orientacion sexual. Algo que trata de delimitar el rastafarismo, por tanto, ¿por que no odiarlo? (Ojo, no más que otras religiones)

[Yomismo]

Pero es que ese "derecho" (para mi los derechos no existen puesto que sólo son reivindicaciones esgrimidas frente a la opresión o hechos plasmados en un papel) no es pisado por el rastafarismo sino por algunos rastafaris. Según tu planteamiento todo cristiano es del Opus Dei o de los Legionarios de Cristo. En cuestión de religión nunca se debe generalizar

Perdona, pero la homosexualidad es vista como 'pecado' desde la religion rastafari. Y desde la Iglesia Catolica tambien (a salvo de que se viva en permanente castidad).

Otra cosa es que haya rastafaris y catolicos que no sigan esas doctrinas.

[DrJordi]

Aún en castidad, la Iglesia Católica no tolera la homosexualidad.

Aún en castidad, la Iglesia Católica no tolera la homosexualidad.

Yo creia que si, fijate.

Volviendo a lo otro...
El rastafarismo no es solo en esencia homofobico. Las mujeres no deberian usar maquillaje. No se deben usar anticonceptivos. Nada de sexo durante la menstruación. Pasan de analgesicos pa dolores durante la misma. Luego además desde algunas sectas se venera la supremacía de la raza negra.
