Can somebody explain the basic beliefs and rituals as well as religious holidays of this religion?

So far, I've gathered that:

-Rastafarians believe Jesus Christ was Black.

-They believe that they will return to the promised land (ethiopia) when the day of judgement comes.

-They believe smoking Gangja will make them experience Jah's (God's) prescence.

-They wear dreadlocks as a badge of the patient virtue.

I also know it was created in 1930 by Marcus Garvey.

Can anyone add anything to this?

That website is run by one of the wackiest christian crackpots ever. Enjoy.

They beleive they are the lost tribe of Israel.

Trust the blacks to invent a religion that Injects the use of drugs into it.

trust the whites to practically define bigotry and ignorance across the globe.

Bbt that's a generalization too.

Don't dis ganja if you've never tried it.
