The rules, religion to religion that man set forth, made me shy away from religion and have my own one on one with God and cut out the middleman.
Ja RuleMy family was Jehovah's Witnesses, which is a really tough religion. It kind of deterred me from religion for a long time. They still practice, but I don't. But I always remained spiritual, and had a belief that there is a God. I'm trying to find my way, you know?
Ja RuleI believe in God and not religion, because I believe religion is the double cross. Because I've been double crossed by three religions, so I think I can safely say that religion - there is maybe something wrong with religion. Every temple that's put up may not be a holy one, so watch out.
Ja RuleAs far as rap goes, I grew up in Hollis, Queens, so early influences were people like Run DMC and LL Cool J.
