A few weeks ago, I found a website where you can upload a picture of yourself, and then turn it into a virtual jack o-'lantern pumpkin. But I seem to have misplaced the think. Does anyone how which site it is?

Its entirely possible as there was intelligent life on earth before man seperated itself from the ape evolution. The apes could think and reason things out when mankind could not. Something happened to where it was reversed.....man replaced the ape in the intelligence process, and was deemed lower than man. Can I get an Amen on this?

The existense of God can be proven by human reason alone.
Answer me these questions: Why does matter exist at all? Where does it come from?
Remember it is a scientific FACT that nothing material can cause its own existence. there needs to be a cause for something to exist. nothing that is material just "pops" itself into existence.

Many believe the big bang created the universe. Who set off the big bang? the big bang needs a first cause, especially considering that if it was a fraction off in time and speed, the universe wouldn't exist.
many astrophysicists are saying God sarted the big bang.

I was told that praying or asking them to pray for you was bad. If so, why? If you believe in souls, a person with a soul isn't technically dead since their soul is in heaven. What's dead is their body. Kindly explain this.

The Rapture was invented by a Ms. Macdonald in Ireland in 1830 following a fever induced 'vision'. Why do so many people insist it is Bible based?

The teachings of visionaries also recall to mind what the apostle John tells Christians.

"Beloved. believe not every spirit. but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

Islam teaching is more towards Abraham teaching. In many ways.

Why do so many Muslims oppress women? Why do so many Muslims believe it is OK to actually kill your own daughter?
Why do they make them cover themselves?
Why are the women not even allowed out of the house in some Islamic countries? etc. etc.
Finally, what is it about Islam that makes them so violent and extremist, especially when Islam is the rule of law in the government?

you would say the bible is full of holes, you would say christianity is blind, our cause doomed, but one thing that cannot be denied is the change in a person's life when they become a true believer:
I had a friend whom I witnessed to for over a year, he believed that there was no God, and I thought nothing would get through to him,he was a good debator and had all the good and difficult questions to throw at me,but one thing I told him I said "if you REALLY want to know if there is a GOD simply ask him", several months after i told him this he called me up out of the blue and told me the story of a life and death situation and he sincerely called out to God, he asked me what should he do to be a Believer I told him 1 simple prayer is all it takes and a sincere heart. the next day he showed up to church and he was never the same since, the change was like night to day. a guy that used to curse drink, have sex, flip people off at stop lights, complete change, how do you explain that?

This quote is attributed to James Randi. A stage magician turned debunker;
Science is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe, obtained by examination of the best available evidence and always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. What's left is magic. And it doesn't work.
-- James Randi

And how very, VERY right he is too.
Science is self correcting. People make mistakes but science, does not. Magic and superstition and mythology on the other hand, never makes mistakes.
"god did it and it is good" just doesn't work for real scientists. Ever.
The faster you creationist sheep understand that, the better.

I have noticed that most(not all)people want a religion that tells them they are good, they can have it all and it never gets any better than here now so make it your best here and now. Why ?

My kid's mother and I aren't together, so he knows nothing of my religious practices, or anything else about my way of life, and his mother won't talk about it. So naturally, he's come to me asking questions. He knows that I'm not Christian, like his mother, but that's it. How should I go about explaining it to him? He just turned 6. And don't sit there and say that people like me, i.e. Satanists, shouldn't have kids. I'm a better father than most people I know.

The minute you step into Charles De Gaul Airport, you are arrested, detained, your visa stripped and you are held in a windowless room under armed guard... Then you are loaded back on a plane and sent home by the authorities...all because of some new security policy.
The next day, you receive word from the that it was all a mistake...sorry. Oh...and NO refunds on the trip.

Would you decide that France pretty much sucked?? ...From then on??
