Hi!         :lol:

I'm new around these parts just got back from my tour in the orient. I've been in a real rough patch of late 

and I've just been dropping the ball on my shaving game. I have always wanted to get into heaven and I'm just 

wondering what Y's (the Lord)'s policy is on beard care. Will I be able to get into heaven with a beard like mine?

:huh:

With a beard like that, I don't think the Lord could keep you out of heaven.

(And I don't believe for a moment that this is a serious question.)

Are you thinking that BYU is heaven?

This is a picture of one of the prophets of the church back from @Vorts era.  The beard thing (and I have a beard) is more a cultural thing than a religious teaching thing. You are fine with facial hair, but if you go to BYU, then you have to play  their game.

Well, we can throw out this question.

I have visited wards with bearded bishops. Perhaps the BYU honour code fulfills some greater purpose?

Is this a serious question?

Perhaps the more important question is: if shaving were one of the requirements for salvation, would you shave?  Or, like the rich young man, would you go away sorrowful, for you have great facial hair?

Sometimes I really wish you'd stop giving us so much clarity with your fresh perspective and exceptional wisdom.  Makes me jealous!

I used to rock a beard myself, would still have one now but my wife doesn't like it :( Keep the beard life is too short to constantly shave

I'm in the same boat.  I just shaved the longest beard I've ever grown. Why?  Because my wife would cringe whenever I kissed her.

For the snide remarks I know have formed in -- ahem -- certain people's minds, my wife does enjoy kissing me... except for the beard.

So, I shaved off two months worth of growth.  It finally looked like a real beard rather than scraggly hairs on my face.  I thought it looked rather nice.  But alas.  It was not meant to be.

If it were, yes I would.

I have a beard...I refuse to shave*.  Draw your own conclusion.

 

* until October, anyway, when my employer requires that I shave.  But admittedly, I'm only willing to shave then because the alternatives could quite literally be clean shaven or death.

Ah, the hazardous life of a statistician, always flirting with death. (Technically 99.8% of the time, p=0.01.)

I'm assuming you're joking.  I mean... You'd shave to avoid temporary physical death.  But you would NOT shave to avoid permanent spiritual death.  Uh-huh.  I buy that.

I assume he meant "Yes, I would shave," not "Yes, I would go away sorrowing."

Perhaps.  But when he says "draw your own conclusions" I'm drawing my own conclusion.
