Well if I was trying to pull it I would make my beard wet (or put some other fire retardant) and I think it would shield the beard for few seconds from a small fire. Same with the skin. It is similar like licking your fingers and then putting the candle flame off by pinching the flame.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
