Hippies were always about spiritualism. Rastafarians are not.

Hippies don't hate women, the western world, think some dude from middle Africa is the emperor of forever and doesn't have it's base in black pride/power.

I didn't know Bob Marley was like that. I should read up on him properly then..i thought he was quite chilled out. :p
 
No, just the equivalent of a 1600yr old Harry Potter with lots of different authors and versions.

I have bee pondering this, don't ask me why but was Jesus (let's for this instance believe he was real and that faith isn't just 'made up') a demigod or was he a full god.

The official version is that he was The God. So full god. The Only God. Himself. Because, you see, the One God (at least in the Catholic version of events), functions in permanent shared existence or hypostases. He is but three divine persons - "The Father" (coincidentally being just a modern disguise of The Canaanite "El" or Jewish YHWH or Yahweh), "The Son" (Jeshua or Yeshua of Nazareth, son of Mary, known as well as Nazorean, Naṣrānī, Notzrim, Nazarene, or Jesus Christ as we refer to him today) and The Holy Spirit. The Father is uncreated, The Son is uncreated, and The Holy Spirit is uncreated, therefore all three are eternal with no beginning. Simples.
 
Christians are generally a bit confused about jesus. I think the problem lies in simultaneously describing him as the son of god (the father), suggesting a different entity, and declaring god and jesus to be the same thing. Present day Christianity is littered with crap like that.

If you track down a theologian, I believe the correct line is that jesus is the imminent aspect of god. The aspect of god that can interact with our reality. That makes a reasonable amount of sense, provided one doesn't also declare god to be omnipotent.

Sadly there's a really big void between a practising Christian and one who knows roughly what their religion is based on. I blame lax standards of evidence for this, in combination with lots of Christians being quite thick.
