      I think most Christians would probably disagree when you tell them that their God lived on earth and it was a man in Ethiopia named “Haile Salassie” who died in 1974

        I didn’t say they were Christians. I meant that Rastafarians consider themselves an abrahamic faith, so they worship the god of Moses and Abraham.
