Don't worry about people who want to believe that, people believe all sorts of things. I Give Thanks to Selassie I for causing I to grow up going to a church where the priest spoke Greek, so I didn't get indoctrinated by the their beliefs. I parents are Serbian Orthodox and the only Orthodox church in the place I grew up was a Greek Orthodox church.
I Learned about RasTafarI as a teenager and in 1991 (age 15) I realized that I was RasTafarI and started building I Irits. I started reading the Bible and what I saw in it was a history book along with Iritual knowledge, I never thought of it as actually being dictated by God. As I mentioned before, I see the Righteous Teachings as being Inspired by God, but not any single book as a whole being dictated by HIM. When reading it, it doesn't even appear to be presented as being dictated by God, except for some small parts here and there.
