Early Life
Stair was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was ordained a Methodist minister, but left organized religion, stating "I just call myself a Christian." He moved to the South in the 1950s, saying that God had told him to move there because it would be "the safest place for Christians in the end time."

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Normally, the sciences distance themselves from life and the return to it via a detour.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
