G1, you're kidding, right? I can't take this seriously.

I would be happy if Padre Pio were a true stigmatist. But he wasn't.

Padre Pio in fact was an example of a problem with most supposed stigmatists: they get the wounds wrong. The Romans crucified through the wrist, not the palms, since hand bones are not strong enough to hold up the body. In the Middle Ages artists began depicting the wounds in the wrong place, the palms. Thus stigmatists who have bleeding hands and palms are imitating art, not the true life Jesus.

Actually alot of the crucified were also tied down at different parts (neck, shoulders, arms, waist etc.) on the cross because of tearing at the limbs. The act of striking into the wrist, base of palm, or actual palm had to do more with the message: pain to the subject and instilling fear in the community.

Correct. The act of crucifying (historically) was not death by bleeding or from the nails, but more of a suffocation and literal drowning. They were tied as you said, because joints would often come dislocated and they wanted them to remain on the cross to die slowly. Some crosses were also more of a 'Y" shape to put more pressure on the lungs and make it more difficult to breathe so they'd fill with fluid. Many hanging on the cross would have a nail below or through their ankles/feet that they'd have to use to push themselves up to take a breath of air...sounds horribly painful. When pierced (like Jesus), the water that was recorded to come out was the fluid from the lungs. He was not pierced to see if he was dead, it was to make sure he was.

He's a Giants fan from NJ. I know many Giants fans and people from NJ in real life and I don't doubt for a second that GI is just being himself.

Easy explanation. Jesus did not have a private jet. They weren't invented yet.

Also, camels and donkeys cannot swim.

Pretty awesome to think God made of all that and then included us

I fully agree with you and just think of the others out in our universe and other universes and solar systems , seems pretty cool .
