It's in their honor code. No beards.

And they're named Brigham Young University.

Named after this dude...

2. They are seriously conflicted....as was he.
However, he was a seeker in a time of seekers. But Mormons pretty much now are like every other organized religion. So,... ermmm, yes. What can we say other than ermmm...? :shrug:

That's why I really like the neo pagans. Don't organize, guys. Please. Stay free.

6. The rule about beards never bothered me
I was too stunned from the culture shock of living in Provo to care about one little rule.

Memories. :scared:
