Long hair

You have to read this.



The best part

Parents who allow a son to grow and wear long hair are contributing to a rebellion against God and against our country. This is a sure step in losing control of a child. Preachers and Churches who compromise on this subject, hoping to reach more young people are actually fighting against God. Let us stand, whatever the cost!

What would Sampson say?

Some people really need a hobby.

Long hair and homosexuality do not always go together, but they are very compatible

Actually, I can't remember ever seeing someone with long hair proclaim their homosexuality.

Maybe they should be trying to abolish handlebar mustaches instead.

[ScruU2wice]

im pretty sure jesus had long hair :(

[Sethomas]

It seems unlikely to me that Jesus would wear his hair short just to maintain the ROMAN status quo. Had he wanted to do that, he probably wouldn't have said those nice things about the meek and all that.

[punkgrrrlie10]

I wonder what they would say about my 9 year old brother with a mohawk. I mean...it's short..right?

[Ninjavenom]

Handlebar mustaches OWN, Fatty.

[Sethomas]

I used to have one. I've been tempted to grow it out again. I'm just limited with what I can do with a moustache because my upper lip hair doesn't connect with my cheak hair. :sigh

[AChimp]

Doesn't it say that long hair on a man is dishonourable or something in the Bible? Ever since I found that out, I have always thought it ironic that Jesus is depicted with long hair.

I don't have any problem with long hair, but I don't think that I'd ever be able to grow my hair longer than a few inches. It would bother me too much. :(

[imported_Wicked Steve]

I always thought it ironic that Jesus is depicted as a white guy. He must have really stood out in the Middle East, where he would have been the one and only white person around (except for the Roman occupying troops, maybe..hm...virgin birth?).

Of course, the most popular theory that I've heard is that this is just another example of Christians using whatever means necessary to get converts - they painted Jesus in the image of Greek statues (namely Hercules). This would explain both the pale skin and the long hair. What do y'all think?

Isn't it like a really old traditional Jewish thing to let the hair grow out? I thought around Jesus' time Jewish men weren't supposed to cut their hair at all, and since he was Jewish having short hair wouldn't make sense.

You are only not supposed to cut the sidelocks.

You have to get that 'stache back, Winston. You must.

Some catholic once told me (I don't know if this is true or not) but the reason women have long hair is b/c of eve's sin, and the long hair was so that the grace of God was never allowed to shine on her head, but men were supposed to keep it short for that purpose. Don't know if that's true or not.

[O71394658]

No, that's not true.

[Immortal Goat]

In my experiences, it is quite the contrary. I work with 3 gay guys. One is older and has a very prominent forehead, but even if it weren't for that, he would still have very short hair. The other 2 all have very closely shaved hairstyles.

Personally, I do not like the long-hair look. I prefer to have medium hair, myself. However, I do believe in the old saying "To each his own".

[O71394658]

So you were agreeing with what FS said?

I am going to start telling people that I have long hair to keep the grace of God from shining on my head. :(

I wonder if these assclowns have ever seen a U.S. 100 bill, or heard of Ben Franklin for that matter.

True. Look what the Catholics (and others) do what it takes to minimize the competition. Look how they bastatrdized the meaning of the paganistic pentogram symbol in one of their little smear campaigns for dominance. In fact, look what they've done to the word "pagan" (the definition below sounds pretty evil, n'est-ce pas?).


PENTAGRAM or PENTACLE A five-pointed star sometimes surrounded by a circle. It is often used to symbolize Earth and its properties—stability, material wealth, the body, and practical affairs. Each point represents an element, with the topmost one representing Spirit.

PAGAN A practitioner of an Earth Religion; from the Latin a country dweller. Also considered any religion that is not Christianity.

Num.6:5 "No razor shall come upon his [a Nazarite's] head. He shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair on his head grow."

Jg.13:5 "For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son [Samson]; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite."

1 Sam.1:11 "I will give him [Samuel] unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

"Gimme head with hair, long beautiful hair;
shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen ...
Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer;
here baby, there mama, everywhere daddy daddy ...
hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair ...
Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair."
from "Hair"

Wasn't Jesus a Nazarene, as opposed to a Nazarite?

[Anti-Xocial]

Jesus was not a Nazarite! According to Numbers 6:1-27, a Nazarite did wear long hair. However, Jesus was a Nazarene and not a Nazarite. While the two words look similar in English, they are entirely different in looks and meaning in the original language of the Bible. A Nazarene was one that lived in Nazareth, according to Matthew 2:23. A Nazarite was one who took a Nazarite vow, according to Numbers 6.

I guess I should really keep out of this but, after seeing this I just couldn't help myself!

edit: I found (especially the end of it) it to be extremely funny ! :lol

"I always thought it ironic that Jesus is depicted as a white guy. He must have really stood out in the Middle East, where he would have been the one and only white person around (except for the Roman occupying troops, maybe..hm...virgin birth?). "

Romans weren't white :/. In my Anthro 335 coarse we read a report that their closest genetic stock is actually found in the areas outlying Spain, and of all fucking wonders, in Cuba. In any case, whether the report was representative of the reality or not, they were tiny brown dudes. We know that from the crispies at Pompeii and elsewhere.

Jesus was black, majorly so. From what I understand, Jews of that time resembled Nubians, so they kind of resembled Skinnies, thats No. African for you non-military types.

I personally thing it was Middle Ages devoutism meeting Middle Ages ignorance which gave birth to the white Christ, but in any case, it doesn't matter. I mean, he was God, not a man. He could have come back as a three legged dog with fleas and likely I would still worship Him.

[The_voice_of_reason]

But did he have long hair? >:

[imported_Wicked Steve]

The Roman Empire was awfully big for its citizens to be confined to one or even a few racial groups; I was assuming the Roman army would be made up of a pretty wide assortment of shapes, sizes, and colors of people, rather than just native Romans. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, since I'm only basing this on geography.

[Big Papa Goat]

I think they had auxillary troops from conquered nations, but the legionnaries were all Roman, except for a few that had served in the auxillary for enough time to become Roman citizens. I think thats how it worked.

[O71394658]

Yeah. Think so.

Direct quote from the asshat:

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BALD HEADED WOMAN

Mr. Asshat has never been in a cancer ward before, has he?

I see he's also taking the Bible literally... Fundamentalists are always so much fun.

Didn't Bob Marley theorize that Jesus was Ethiopian?
