Re: To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question
Facial Hair by Chancy Gore.

Quote:
Throughout history it has been observed that wizards and witches wore beards. Women unfortunate enough to grow beards were regarded as witches. Witches were well known to have black tuffs on their chins. Have you ever seen a picture of the devil without a vandyke beard and moustache?
It is interesting to note the simliarity of these two and their association with facial hair. People seem to always just assume that the devil has a beard and moustache.

On page 35 Gore goes pulls no punches.
Quote:
At one time the moustache was viewed as the mark of the beast. "In the new court and (so far as I know) through England in the middle of the last century a moustache was said to be the mark of the beast".
While the Bible provides no support for this premise it is easy to trace the association of FACIAL HAIR with the devil and evildoers.
