Abusive Preachers

How is this "moving in the wrong direction"?

I deny that beards are sign one is homosexual at all. False premise... other than that I agree. LOL!

He was making the point that IF blue ties started becoming a sign that gays used he would stop wearing them in the same way that beards were a sign of hippies in the 60's. BUT blue ties aren't and beards are not anymore. And he did say that there was for more scripture FOR beards then against them -which there is basically none.
