Anyone have any idea what Golarion gods I should replace the main gods in SCAP with? biggest problem is what to replace Wee Jas with cause Pharasma is not a good 1:1 replacement for the goddess of Magic and death. Any ideas would be helpful

I'm actually struggling with this converstion as well. Some gods have an easy 1:1 replacement, but ones like Wee Jas have me stumped. The alignment is the toughest part, as Wee Jas is Lawful Neutral and the only gods that seem to match that would be Abadar or Irori, not very good choices for the goddess of magic and death.

Depending on how you want to slant the view of the church in your SCAP, I'd go with either Nethys if you want to keep the Neutral aspects, (although this seems more like Boccob then Wee Jas to me), but if your willing to dip into the Evil aspects, I'd be more inclined to try Asmodeus or Urgathoa. You may have to change how the church is viewed in Cauldron, or hide it's affiliation all together. For now, I'd lean more towards Asmodeus.

Pharasma's not a terrible stand in for Wee Jas, since she can have good, neutral, OR evil worshipers. Nethys isn't a bad choice either, but the more I think on it... the more Pharasma seems to be the best choice. After all, the church of Wee Jas in Cauldron DOES do stuff with the dead, but not so much with the magic. AND: We've established that some priests of Pharasma have gone insane after the death of Aroden and the dawn of the Age of Lost Omens; they couldn't handle the fact that the prophecies so beloved by their faith are no longer accurate. This could certainly be part of the cause of the troubles in the Cauldron church.
