Well, long hair was more common until the 20th century. (Oh, there's actually a fundie arguing that Jesus had short hair. Of course, the hair around his temples could never be cut, but that doesn't stop him. I wonder what's next? Sampson having short hair?)
Have you ever thought about what these fundies would do if Jesus' arrival was in our time? If he was the same guy now that is depicted in the Bible, consider this:
He wore a robe and sandals
Had no visible means of support
Relied on the largesse of others for his support
Talked about a supernatural being (ie., the Living God)
Most likely had long hair, and opportunities for grooming are difficult when you're homeless.
Traveled nomadically with a group of other homeless guys
Hung with prostitues, still claiming to be holy
Heard voices
Was the most "anti-establishment" figure of his time
Used violence to make his point in the temple- that would have gone over well!
Claimed to personally be the only way to God!
Yeah, I can see the fundamentalists just lining up to shoot him down, or just shoot him!
So I shaved the rest of my body. As I grow a lot of hair I had to shave my chest, legs and bottom also. I only didn´t shave my arms because I didn´t want to shave the top of my hands. It took a lot of shaving foam and rasorblades. I kept myself smooth a few month. My wife liked it very much, just te first week after shaving. My skin felt very good without clothes, but after a little bit of growing hair it started itching. That summer I was on a nude beach on the french atlantic coast. Before using tanning-oil, I took a swim, just after I had shaved myself. The salt water made me feel burning. :blink: After that I only trim my balls and pubes and shave the shaft of my penis. My wife was happy with me unshaved aswell! :wub: Never a shaved body again! I wonder how the olympic swimmers solve these problems. And bikers in Le Tour de France. Aren´t they hairy boys?
