• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So...where do you fall in the beard holiness chart?

I had a beard once. Oddly enough, it did not make me any more holy.
Maybe you weren't wearing it right...?

(ZZ Top must be really holy, then! :scratch:)

What makes one beard more holy than another?

I would think the holiest beard is the one Jesus had if the length really matters to God.

(He's being silly because there were some beard-related laws in the Old Testament.)

I'm looking at the last line and wondering how long the Theotokos' beard was.
It's pretty long. She collected all the hair from brushing Christ's hair as He was growing up, and wove it into an awesome beard. I don't think she ever wore it though.
