Excuse me, what religion requires believers to grow beards?

I suggest you go to a Christian church and get to know Jesus Christ, the creator and savior of all things in the world. Christianity doesn't have to grow a beard, but after you believe in Jesus Christ, you can honestly tell the leader that you just like to grow a beard, and you can pray that the Lord will stop your leader from insisting that you shave. Besides, when you know Jesus Christ, you won't care so much about your beard.

Paul said: I regard everything as dirt, and Jesus Christ is the most precious.
