However, what most people don't know, and many try to cover up, is the fact that Bob Marley converted to Christianity in 1980. In fact on 4 November 1980 he was baptised and became a member of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. When he was buried under Orthodox rites on 21st May 1981 it was with his Bible and his Gibson guitar!

lol...

Well, I've never heard any footage of Mr. Marley praising the christian religion, let alone, claiming to be one. If you've read that article, we can see those who burried him were christian, ie mother and family. We are left with their words of him. Family tend to bend the truth to fit their truth or reality.....

Musician, singer-songwriter, guitarist, christian, political activist, hero figure, political pioneer.
R.I.P Robert Nest Marley.

Another talented musician taken from us to soon at the young age of 36.

Happy birthday Bob, your music will live on forever!

I LOL at your lack of knowledge.

So, it's of no significance that he praises "Jah" (Rastafarian God) in a lot of his songs, and even has a song called "Praise Jah"? Also, that the King of Etheopia gave him the Ring of Zion? (The holy ring of the Rastafarian's.)

Oh, and the fact that people attribute him for the one who brought Rastafarianism into mainstream?

It really is interesting how many Marley fans don't know this. Doesn't take a lot of reading to discover this.

Dumbass because he threw his life away because he refused to get medical treatment for a simple, easily curable medical condition. Not anything to do with his "liberating" and "motivating"

It was a joke... guess you missed it.

You have to remember 90% of them are stoners and can't really understand the concept of reading and learning.
