Where did this custom of men kissing each other on the face upon meeting come from?

[Google Expert]

In the old days, a handshake was enough. A hug was for a family member : father/son or brother/brother.

Today it looks like every man shakes hands then follows through with an embrace / kissing if they're just friends.

Stupid.

Its actually in the bible and the way Jesus greeted his fellow man.

I used to work with a guy from Vietnam and he would want to hold your hand while he talked to you. It was just normal for him, but always made me (and others) feel strange.
