In a lenghty articly, Christafari
Founder Mark Mohr responded to the book
Christafarianism. Here you can find the complete text
with added footnotes. This is not the follow-up for this
essay, but an analysis of this Response.
As you will see, the Book
Christafarianism has caused Mark Mohr to change his
definiton of Rastafari. For him, a Rasta is now either a
"Selassie Worshipper" or a Deceiver. You will
see Mark Mohr giving an "political correct apologie"
to the Deceivers for "lumping them into the
Selassie Worshippers category.
You will see him boldly announcing how
he perpetuates his personal use of Rastafarian and
Christian elements in order to further his aim of
"plugging the gap in the industry".
You will see him prefering a babylonian term
over a Biblical NAME when speaking about the Most High.
You will see how he claims that he
"makes christians", which he presents as
"fruits of my efforts". Mohr says his efforts
have to be seen as seperate from JAH works, and even
even claims that JAH reaps "the fruits of my
efforts" where the Bible says it is all JAH works.
The response also contains a set of
blatant lies which in itself explain the reason why he
doesn't provide one single quote or referance to back up
his many false claims.
Mark Mohr exposes how he has two
different gospels to preach. And how if you critisize
one gospel he's hiding behind the other in a very clever
way.
The response reveals the mind-set of
Mark Mohr, which is explained and analysed with links to
academic studies that back this up. A mind-set that has
no problem in using Rastafarian symbology and Christian
principals, only to transform it's meaning into a
marketing technology. Not even when these symbologies
and expressions are admittedly not
"unbiblical". Mark Mohr still has to change
the meaning of Rastafarian symbology in order to serve
his aims.
You will also see how Mark Mohr accuses
Messian Dread of illegal use of copywritten material,
where Christafari has stolen at least one Dubroom Review
and illegally put it on the Christafari Website without
asking permission.
You will see how Christafari has changed
that review into a piece which says to forget about
"the ever enigmatic Yabby You and Messian Dread,
because here is a True Christian Roots
Artist."
