Haile Selassie was king of Ethiopia for awhile, said he wasn't Jesus, and was not a rastafarian, he never did anything truly truly amazing in the scale of time, and he died a normal death.
Also, why is it ok for a Rastafarian to smoke dope when they are on the Nazarite Vow, when part of the vow entails not using substances?

To be a Rasta does not proclaiming HIM the returned Christ, but if One site HIM as the Christ, those Ones do not believe HIM died, seen? InI do not see such, but as one of the Rastafari Community, I-man could never relinquesh the divinity of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I!
further InI have been living in the nazarite vow for 5 years now. the vow is as follows
1) no cutting or styling of the hair
2) no contact with dead bodies
3) no consumption of grapes or alcoholic beverages.
this does not include herb, but in some circles limits the use of Herbal teas, as they are intoxicating beverages.
