Rastafarian
In belief, Bobo Dreads are distinguished by their worship of Prince Emmanuel as a reincarnation of Christ and embodiment of Jah; their emphasis on the return to Africa and their demands for monetary reimbursement for slavery. |
Rastafarians do not believe in an afterlife, [5] but instead look to Africa (called "Zion") as a heaven on earth. True Rastas are believed to be immortal, both physically and spiritually, a concept called "everliving." An important Rastafarian concept is "I and I," which is said instead of "you and I." It emphasizes the oneness between humanity and God as well as the equality of all humans.
