"Jesus Christ has beards, & God The Father has been portrayed as a bearded supreme being in so many revelation books, so it's silly for someone to say that keeping beards will deprive a Christan from making heaven; It's so unfortunate how lots of Christians are so gullible today."

@dammiedammie35 reacted:

"I’ll gladly do registry, engagement and reception with my beard intact!! Even the person they’re portraying to be Jesus Christ for us has beard."
