Ha! I just read this very same thing yesterday when I read Reggies post. I had to look him up because all I really knew of him was his love for animals. I learned lot's. He grew up in opulence, indulging in fine foods and, drink and partying. "Consequently, he abandoned his life of luxury and became a devotee of the faith, his reputation spreading all over the Christian world."
There is something about a vision he had during a 1 year jail term, and a voice telling him to live a life of poverty...lot's of stuff on this man.
Because in such a separation without God, heat is the nature. We can enjoy our climate simply because earth is God-made environment. The "nature" in our concept is not actually a nature. A true nature without God's maintenance is full of heat and energy. So separation from God simply means returning to the true nature.

And outer space, away from where Jesus was sent, is icy cold.
And apparently those who have walked in space say that their suits smelled like they had been to a BBQ. It smells burnt out there.
Find out why he was called Francesco.
Read about the voice he heard from God telling him to "build his church".
Which church did God mean??
(and forget about the dumb story about the wolf).
You funny.
As long as everybody understands that it's MYTH.
Children like to hear about this...I never told it to the ones I had. At ANY age!
(the nuns agreed with me, they thought it was pretty dumb too.)
At least they showed two beautiful hill towns:
Assisi and Gubbio
Here's my favorite St. Francis story:
"Go and build my church"
Oh. You believe that....I dunno. We accept Balaam having a conversation with a donkey, answering the donkey's questions......
Well, there's this land down in the Everglades...

Curious to know what you believe will happen to you if you don't go to the "Christian paradise."

"the Wolf" Ahhaha! Yes, I read all of the above...His mom was from France, dad Italian...His real name is...I forgot but Francesco somehow means "French"? And the nickname stuck!
Oh yes, and the stigmata supposedly from the dream/voice/vision? he had in prison...i wonder about that one.

I have heard that the BBQ smell is from stars burning out.

God does not "inflict pain." It is people who inflict pain, and God who judges righteously, saying "Amen", meaning: So be it.
In other words, God says "I am." But it is people who choose and say for themselves who they are.

The distinction here is made between faith based upon the Word of God, which we have proven for ourselves and “blind faith” which is something commonly practiced by the majority of professed Christians most of whom tend to believe anything stated, which is held by the majority (orthodoxy), and or which their friends and peers believe (especially if it comes from their Minister), this without any sure evidence, facts (biblical facts) in support, facts which they themselves have proven by the word of God. That is not faith that’s just blind credulity, gullibility, and...
"Without faith (true faith) it is impossible to please God."
