      traskalle Bob Marley was a shitty father, and didn’t care about his children. Or he didn’t know how. Damien was the child from Bob cheating on his wife with Miss Jamaica. What makes you think Bob
      would have taken care of Damien? His own children barely like him, and his daughter hates him. How can people put aside the man for his art?

      You never heard that Bob converted to Christianity before he was taken to the realm of the dead as all people are?
      ua-cam.com/video/WXiPllReCBI/v-deo.html
      Also, you might be interested to know that God has said people are resting or being tormented in the realms below after they die. Nobody is near us or looking upon us except God in heaven and among us with his messengers and the fallen messengers who are condemned and awaiting judgement.
      “The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.”
      ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭57:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬
      www.bible.com/59/isa.57.1-2.esv
      Ask Jesus of Nazareth to forgive your traspases and ask Him for mercy and grace, He is the son of God. Only If you do this can you know who God is. That’s what God says.
