Behold the Mighty Beard, a Badge of Piety and Religious Belonging
Beards connote piety, spiritual intensity and a life so hard at study that there is no time for a shave

Amen
I have been showing my piety and spiritual intensity for many years.
Of course, the beard is only a sign of righteousness. It is no guarantor...
Or have I?
Hmmmmm

# 7 above is why I don't have a beard ... you know "Abstain from all appearance of evil" 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (KJV)

Truth be told...
Two reasons for the beard:
1) Grew it when I was taking on a management position (1996 or so) and I wanted to look older
2) I really, really hate shaving
So, nothing very intellectual or spiritual going on in my case!
