    By “look like Jesus” I do indeed mean the popular modern western depiction of Jesus, because as far as I know, there’s no conclusive proof of a historical Jesus existing, and if he did, he was obviously not a modern European-origin American man.

    As for the second point - idk, it might just be because I can’t grow a decent full beard, but after the first centimeter or 2 of facial hair, I just get told to shave because it’s not funny anymore. I also can’t imagine letting my hair grow for several years to get it as long as those guys. I thought one of the perks of being a man is that you get to be comfortable instead of spending years growing out your hair and shit lol

      It’s pretty well-established within the field of history that there was a Jewish mendicant preacher named Jesus of Nazareth who got baptised by John and nailed to a cross by order of Pilates. That’s just as well (or badly) attested as anything else about notable people in Galilee at the time.

      It’s the rest that ranges from unattested to either allegorical or certainly made up.

      I go from Three musketeer to wizard of the Court in about 1 month. Generally I just prefer not to cut my hair, but it will reach full length in about 1 year and then just stop growing any longer.

      These guys seem like they also chose this hairstyle because it’s just less work and you spend less time being uncomfortable.

      Constantly shaving all the time sucks.
