I do not teach that facial hair is a sin. Period.
I have been honest with every man who has ever asked me.
I have told men that it would be sad to let a beard hide from others the good person that I know, and that I think it is honorable to forego this liberty in order to expand out influence.
If that much honesty doesn't qualify for the D4T Seal of Approval, fine with me.  |
Coon, you also bring about good points, and I'm gleaning something from the discussion between you and D4T. That being said, can you expound on why you believe a beard hides someone from others, and how shaving it off will expand their influenence?
