Got any videos and pictures of you on holiday? Or do you have any recommended holiday destinations?
Go to New York. It's for the kids.

Dying ? Why would I want to die ?
I've already decided that I'm not going to die. This whole living thing is too much fun.

I'm kinda surprised you picked ...And Justice for all over Master of Puppets. Although both are great albums.
Every Metallica album has songs I love, so when comparing them, I tend to focus on the "filler" material. To me, the "fillers" on Justice were better, despite the sh**ty production values.

No order:
Abigail - King Diamond
...And Justice for All - Metallica
Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
Painkiller - Judas Priest
Powerslave - Iron Maiden
Operation: Mindcrime - Queensrÿche
Holy Diver - Dio
Blizzard of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne
1916 - Motörhead
Countdown to Extinction - Megadeth
I probably left off some great ones, but these were the first to pop into my head. I couldn't decide which Dream Theater album I like the most, so I put Queensrÿche instead.

Ginseng doesn't really do much. If enough is taken, it can elevate blood pressure and increase the heart beat. The amount found in a soda is so negligible, however, that it likely isn't affecting you at all. While I'm certainly not a medical professional, I'd wager to say that your issues are most likely a result of lack of sleep. If the soda is high in caffeine, you may also be dehydrated.

Ghosts don't have powers
How do you know?

Annecdotal evidence is far from proof, but I'll play along. I once had a ghost haunting me. How do you know it was a ghost? One day i woke up and went to the bathroom and a black figure was in my mirror. Two things come to mind: Your sleep was interrupted and hallucinated the thing. =or= You saw yourself in low-light conditions and your tired brain threw out an irrational explanation. A month later i woke up in the middle of the night and my T.V was on. I grabbed my remote and clicked the power button 5 times, it wouldn't turn off. So i got and manually pressed the power button on the T.V and it still wouldn't turn off! Do you ever read the fine print on your electronic devices? Electronic devices easily receive interference, and are legally required to. A far more rational explanation to your TV problem is that the TV was malfunctioning. They're known to do this. Ghosts, however, aren't known to exist. A couple of days later i was playing my Dragon Ball Z game and my room went black for a split second but the power wasn't out because the downstairs light was still on. Lights flicker. Just because there was a disruption in your lights, that doesn't mean that the electricity to the whole house was cut off. A couple minutes later these papers that i had hung up ripped off the wall. I wasn't near them and my fan was off. What do you mean by "ripped off"? Were they torn? What method of adhesion did you use? (Poster putty, tape, push pins, nails, other?) The next night i had a dream where a little man with a white mask, pitch-black eyes, and red puffy hair with a chainsaw was chasing people then a filing cabinet opened up and body parts were in it. At the end of the dream he said "You can't hide from me, i know where you are." That's called a nightmare. We all get them from time-to-time. When I was younger, my nightmares generally involved monsters or other such ghouls. These days, my nightmares typically involve the death of loved ones. Nightmares reflect what you're afraid of. You seem to fear ghosts and other typical horror movie subjects. I fear losing people close to me. The next day i was on my way to Tae-Kwon-Do and i saw a woman walking towards me from the corner of my eye i turned and there was a front of a bus. Was it a ghost bus? I don't really see how this relates to anything. Peripheral vision doesn't really see details. It essentially sees the existence of objects and general color. The next day i was walking to school and i saw a man running towards me i turned and my friends head was there, also a man was meditating around candles. The men and the woman all had gold chains with a cross around there necks. By now you should realize that you're seeing the existence of objects in your peripherals, and your imagination is filling in the wrong details. As for people worshipping, what does this have to do with anything? People worship. Just because people pray in public, that doesn't mean ghosts exist. That is the story of my ghost.
I didn't even have to put much thought into providing rational explanations for all of your encounters. Remember, just because you can't explain what happened, that doesn't mean something supernatural caused it. There is most likely a rational explanation. Until such an explanation can be found, admitting that you don't know what happened is perfectly acceptable.

I both believe in them and have had experiences with them
Prove that you've experienced them.

One word: Albino
The kid isn't albino. Albinism is where there is no pigment. He has pigment (as seen in his eyes).

So, those attributes that you called "nonsense" are actually critical to the theological question. Does these create paradoxes? Of course it does, but the chicken and egg paradox does not disprove the existence of either chickens or eggs, so paradoxes aren't really valid arguments.
The chicken and egg paradox isn't a paradox. The egg came first. Only if one accepts creationism does it even make sense for the chicken to have come first.
But even the evolution theory states the chicken came first =/
If you think evolution consists of animals just popping up into existence, then you're a complete dumb ass.

It contradict the properties of Santa. He does not have the power to make his factory, himself, and all the elves and reindeer invisible. So such a large factory will most certainly be detected by satellite. So at least the conventional version made by Coke Cola is falsified "until new observation shows otherwise". Whether or not Santa can make things invisible isn't touched by the popular Santa mythos. Therefore, an invisible North Pole doesn't contradict anything. Of course, you can create a version of Santa with this ability, but doing so to explain such a small phenomenon contradicts "inference to the best explanation", where the "best" implies simplest. And throwing in a layer of "god" complicates everything. Note that there are no reason why the simplest explanation is necessary true, it is just something scientists used with faith. Faith isn't the right word, unless you are one of those people who thinks it's impossible to know anything. Science never rules anything out with 100% certainty. Induction only covers all observed and interpreted information.
Of course it doesn't.

God is actually very unlike Santa. Many features of Santa, such as a factory in the North Pole, can be falsified. Just because you don't see the factory, that doesn't necessarily mean it's not there. (Just because nobody has seen a god, that doesn't mean one doesn't exist.) You just have to look for the "Made in China" somewhere on your toys.
What if that's Santa covering his tracks? What if he subcontracts to the Chinese? Sure, it's evidence against the Intelligent Presents Theory, but it doesn't rule it out with 100% certainty.

I suppose it doesn't, if you don't love your life.
I love my life, and enjoy nearly every minute of it. I just don't see why it matters when my life ends. When it does, I won't even know. When you have something you like, why do you need more? Why not just be happy with what you had?

^ Not sure that you're giving pro-existence of God arguments enough credit there. After all, I'm fairly sure that we can't observe certain subatomic particles directly, but we can interpret their existence through their effects on the observable world and therefore deduce their existence. We observe and test to theorize the existence of subatomic particles. There is no way to test the existence of god. There are far too many variables. Philosophically speaking, there are many compelling arguments for God that can made in the same vein as this (ie: the Argument from Design, although I am personally unconvinced by this one). Saying that all theists are merely "blindly believing in myths" is a fallacy. The problem with asserting there is a god is the same as asserting there is a Santa Claus. Sure, you could explain the presence of presents by saying that Santa did it, but is that really a logical conclusion, or is it blind faith? Darwin, for example, was not an atheist despite his findings and observations.
You're not talking about that bullsh** bed side conversion, are you?

Most of you kids who "hate" smoking are just kids. You know nothing of the crunch. You've never even been to the crunch.
Better to be a living coward than a dead fool when it comes to smoking.
Why does the longevity of your life matter?

Hey, you can bash me all you like - just AFTER I get a sensible answer that isn't along the lines of "stupid" or "retarded". Because I'm sure there's a name for it
"Stupid". Faith and the scientific method do not mix. One relies on blindly believing in myths despite the evidence, the other relies entirely on observable evidence.

Seriously though, that was an entertaining video, and I actually agree with his main point. That Bible verse he mentioned was totally out of context though. Jesus wasn't telling his followers to go kill everyone who didn't believe in him. He was telling a parable, and in the parable a king says this of those who were trying to overthrow him.
But isn't that the problem with quoting religious texts? Either it's so generic that it can fit absolutely any situation (and thus, doesn't really mean anything), or it's being taken out of context to help prove a preconceived point.
