Exactly. Instead of addressing the issue of beards "biblically", instead it's easier to take a rabbit trail down the "scorner" path to detract from the fact that there is not an ounce of scripture to back up the "no beards" doctrine.
Why not be honest, and admit it is only a personal preference, and certainly not a heaven/hell issue?
For the record, my personal preference for my husband is to shave, but he has worn a beard off and on, but finds he prefers to be clean shaven himself. It certainly should be a personal preference, and not be a doctrine to use to browbeat folks into heaven or hell.
