Once the video was aired, the men got in a heated discussion about Christianity and the Rastafarian faith. The reasoning was centered around the current crime rate on the island and the role both religions are playing to either contribute to, or reduce it. The conversation got deep and intense as both men were very passionate about their points of view.
