Bob Marley: Rastafarian Wrongdoer or Confessing Christian?

[Babar]

This topic is weird. "Rastafarian Wrongdoer"? "Confessing Christian"? It sounds like the headline of some cheesy newspaper. I don't see how this could turn into a discussion. He was very prominently Rastafarian. He made songs about it. Some were great. He died. Maybe (or Maybe not) he turned Christian near the end. How does it affect anything? A person would be pretty weak in the force if he went from being a Rastafarian to being a Christian just because Bob Marley did the same.

Oh yeah, and BTW:

Saddam is Santa Claus!

The Pharisees of today are the Corporations!

Bob Marley was a Timelord!

The world is on the back of the Giant Turtle!

Pharisees and Jews:

The Pharisees thought they had to follow eons of laws to get to heaven, some as silly as not opening your door for a beggar unless he had walked a certain amount of miles. Christ taught that you should love your neighbor and love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and if you kept that, then you would be able to keep the law.

Most of us don't agree with you. 

Regarding Krysis' post about religion being false:

That's just your excuse cuz your an atheist!    The Bible would make sense to you if you actually read it!

The topic: 

Bob Marley wouldn't have done it out of desperation if he did it seven months before he died.

You'd prefer it God had made people obedient robots?

Which he really says is that God didn't made us... I agree.

yeah well I kinda stopped posting regularly after most of the people who I knew here in the forum in 2001 left\stop posting. Guys like Helm, Captain Mostly, Monkeyspank, Rodekill, Phil Reed...  and threads got kinda repetitive. and then I didn't have much time to post anyway. But now I have more time again so I get involved again.

At the time I posted that most people who replyd agreed that it was out of desparation. At that time.

Bob Marley was diagnosed with cancer at July 1977 and ended up dying from it at May 1981. Which means he was suffering from cancer for almost 4 years. He knew he had it and he knew he was gonna die from it. After suffering from cancer for 3 years and 3 months praying for Jah and Selassie and it didn't help, it's prefectly reasonable that out of despration he turned christian due to the fact that he has been suffering from cancer for over 3 years and parying to Jah didn't help.

i find it just typical of humans to assume that because jesus did good that he MUST be god's son, we just cant accept that some people are nice. imo, saying jesus is god's son is just disrespectful to jesus (not that there definately isnt a god who is cool and stuff, there may be, i dont know)
