Beards can protect you from being gay
June 20, 2017 at 11:14 pm
I decided to place this under humor, because sometimes religious ignorance is not deserving of a religious news affiliation.
Quote:Beards can protect you from being gay, according to the head of the Russian branch of a Christian church.
Metropolitan Kornily, Primate of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church, explained men should stop shaving to ‘protect themselves from homosexuality’.
Vladmir Putin has previous backed and supported Kornily.
‘God gave us the rules: it is written that God created everyone with a beard. We can not imagine Christ or some saint without a beard. One should not oppose its creator,’ Kornily said in an interview with Russia’s National News Service.
He also goes on to explain the beard’s special status has ‘completely disappeared from the Catholic West.’
In an ironic turn of events, Putin always appears with a clean-shaven face. Kornily has not publicly commented on this.
He has no further evidence of a beard’s apparent ‘protective’ powers.

Indeed, where is Putin's beard, then? Maybe he has the gay. Also it's a bit disappointing that Russians don't know about bears. Wrestling bears takes on a new meaning when you know about that side of the gay community.

Losty
That pic reminds me of Jesus and John. The man he loved most. If only Jesus was alive today they could've been wed.
John 19:26, "Then when Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, Woman, behold your son.
I was a born-again christian for many years then I got woke.. and now life is better in so many ways. It's taking me time to see my value and find my voice, but the reward is liberating knowing my path is not dictated or controlled by fear of death and the unknown. Casting off the shackles of religion is pretty fucking awesome. The beautiful people I've met on this forum have more heart and compassion than any group of people I've been apart of. So back off Jesus and followers, because this bitch is done with Chu.

I thought this was about gay beards, not actual beards lol.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

We have a lot of "bears" around here. I'm a hetero, but I generally like the "bear aesthetic" as I've seen it.

So, growing a full beard can protect a man from turning gay...
Guess this also works for Russian women...
