Greetings
I think you offended his sensibilities since he is a son of Marduk. (sarcasm) I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I somehow think that he knew what Babylon you were referring too.
I think that people are confused about what I and possibly others mean when we say goddess worship.
I am only speaking of restoring the balance of Iration by acknowledging the femi9 and masculine power of Iration...Mother Nature and Father Time as Baba Marcus puts it.
Creation (the cipher) must revolve instead of de-volve (no cipher). When you break a cipher, the movement is no longer a 3-dimensional, angular motion. It becomes 2- dimensional linear motion.
"It takes a revolution to make a solution."
In a cipher, there is always a counterbalance..solution.
In linear movement, there is no compensation, therefore no counterbalance. Hence stunted notions of truth, justice, peace, love, etc.
Promoting balance is in no way promoting a hierarchy.
Long before judeo-christian religions, ancient gods were usually seen as androgynous (much like the most earliest and simplistic forms of life), hence able to create independent of anything else. The Icept of the dual monad..dual unity is an ancient Icept.
I dont think it is beneficial for any Rastafari to deny the femi9 aspect (goddess) of Iration.
Otherwise, how do you differenciate Rastafari from a blackened version of christianity?
Is there a distincting between Rastafari and Christianity, other than siting Haile Selassie I as the god head?
I would think so.
As one other poster posts, "It's gonna take bravery to stop mental slavery."
