Definitions
name
Rastafarianism.
noun
A Rastafarian.
At the same time, social, economic, and even political relations remain individualistic and personal rather than communitarian as in the case of the Bobo. Thus most Rastafari are allowed to lead their own lives as members of a religion but without the risk of violating collective discipline. They have a sense of identity but without ritual obligation.
Over time, the Bible has been altered from its original state. For political and economic reasons, things have been edited out, especially in the case of the King James I version of the Bible (Nicholas 1979). Therefore many Rastafari are particularly selective about what they believe in the scriptures.
