Maybe the images are the recollections of someone who knew him before he grew a beard. Doesn't bother me one way or the other.

Though there is a certain element which haunts this forum who would denounce you as a heretic, cultist, etc. if you disagreed with them on the size, shape or even whether or not he had a beard. Had these people been living in John Calvin's time, they would have you burned at the stake or beheaded, so they have made some progress.

Or maybe they have just lost the power to do it . . .

Obviously the author thinks he’s suggesting something by saying he didn’t have a beard, since he put the questionable assertion in the headline; that’s what I’m responding to.

How do you feel about the Inquisitions, and the other element on this forum who have openly called for its resumption?

I guess the worst mass murder for religious reasons of United States citizens, would have been conducted by the Mormons.

Yup. The Roman Catholic Church was especially vicious during that time.

Just the GUTS to do so!
