I agree. But I do wish to point out that the BIBLE NEVER refers to clothing when it says we are to be separate and to come out from among the world. The ONLY thing the bible ever mentioned was that men would know we're His people by our love for one another.

Again, NO WHERE does the bible say clothing or appearance separates us.

Why not be modest just for the sake of modesty, like the bible says?

Most people nowadays who are still against beards are simply afraid of admitting they were wrong, or to "fit in" with the ultra-con status quo, and not make waves. No bible reason exists.

Hmmmm... Doing what the Bible says simply because it says it and not reading anything else into it that it was not trying to say....

What a novel idea.

That just might work.
