Is it poruguese? Or some strange italian or spanish dialect?
Can translate?

Sentir em nós
Sentir em nós
Uma razão
Para não ficarmos sós
E nesse abraço forte
Sentir o mar,
Na nossa voz,
Chorar como quem sonha
Sempre navegar
Nas velas rubras deste amor
Ao longe a barca louca perde o norte.
Ammore mio
Si nun ce stess’o mare e tu
Nun ce stesse manch’io
Ammore mio
L’ammore esiste quanno nuje
Stamme vicino a Dio
Ammore

No teu olhar
Um espelho de água
A vida a navegar
Por entre sonho e a mágoa
Sem um adeus sequer.
E mansamente,
Talvez no mar,
Eu veita em espuma encontre o sol do
Teu olhar,
Voga ao de leve, meu amor
Ao longe a barca nua a lodo a pano.

Ammore mio
Si nun ce stess’o mare e tu
Nun ce stesse manch’io
Ammore mio
L’ammore esiste quanno nuje
Stamme vicino a Dio
Ammore
Ammore mio
Si nun ce stess’o mare e tu
Nun ce stesse manch’io
Ammore mio
L’ammore esiste quanno nuje
Stamme vicino a Dio
Ammore

Are we not the only reason known to man for the existence of God?

Some believe that all of this is an accident. I believe that "everything I have seen teaches me to believe in a Creator that I have not seen."Look at the balance, the symetry of things that are, barring human destruction of course. Plants make our air, we animals and humans create their air. The law of supply and demand? Our very ability to create and to question life and creation. Animals live based on instinct, for better or worse man choose his reactions. Of all the possibilities why this planet, of all the life forms why man? Of all the egg and sperm that could have joined why you and I? Do you not see the beauty? The work of art? Does it not point to an Artist?
Peace Be With You,
Debra

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Albert Einstein

Einstein is arguably one of the best intellectuals who ever lived. A scientist who believes in God. Hmmm.... interesting. Looking at his accomplishments, it's hard to believe he wasn't divinely inspired.

You know someplace kind of derelict,possibly abandoned or with one occupant who was also a little scary to you.
Did you and your friends ever make up stories about it? Would you walk by it at night?

What difference does it actually make if your parents are Christians and have you baptised as a child and covenant with God to raise you in the faith? Is there a 100% guarantee of salvation? If not, what's the difference in being in a covenant relatinoship and not being?

I just saw a question from a guy asking "females" to email him. The word has an animalistic connotation. Why do so many people speak that way? Female humans are women.

If that is true, is a lie that "we are God's children"
Or maybe God is not perfect after all?

Some seem to believe there is a futre out there full of events, people, decisions, etc... apart from what God has planned will happen. How can anything exist apart from God planning it? There is nothing out there in the future for God to view that is unknown to him or that he does not already know. The reason he already knows is because he planned it. His knowledge is based upon his planning not the other way around. Therefore God knows what people are going to do because he has planned what they will do.

1) No parents in my life, my father ran out before I was a year old, and my mother died when I four.
2) Almost raped when I was thirteen years old.
3) First kiss, when I was fifteen years old, on a dare, was with a bisexual guy.
4) Tried Drugs (only tried didn't like) when I was sixteen, and it messed up my thinking.

I am seventeen right now, I have been attracted to guys since I was twelve years old...

So, what evidence exists that the Christian God created the universe, as opposed to some other God?

What evidence exists that the alleged Creator of the Universe wants to be worshipped, or has even bothered to convince humans to start a religion?

I'm sure those of you who claim that the universe is proof that the Bible is true will not refer to the Bible to prove that God is true (circular logic proves nothing).

And yes, this is yet another one of those questions Christians run from as it requires a justification of faith rather than a condemnation of homosexuality (this is getting predictable).

My goal today my aim, as insignificant as I am, is to spread light, joy, and peace. I may not be a great light blazing ahead for others but I am content if I can be even a match used to light anothers light. I cannot do great things but I content myself with the knowledge that I can do ordinary things with great love.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Do you know, brother, that you are a prince?
A son of Adam. And that the witch of Kabul,
who holds you with her color and her perfume,
is the world?
Say the words, I take refuge
with the Lord of the Daybreak.

Avoid the hot breathing that keeps you tied
to her. She breathes on knots and no one
can unknot them. That’s why the prophets came.

Look for those whose breath is cool.
When they breathe on knots, they loosen.

The old woman of the world has had you
in her net for sixty years. Her breathing
is the breathing of God’s anger. But God’s mercy
has more strength. Mercy is prior to wrath.

You must marry your soul.
That wedding is the way.
Union with the world is sickness.

But it’s hard to be separated from these forms!
You don’t have enough patience to give this up?
But how do you have enough patience
to do without God?

You can’t quit drinking the earth’s dark drink?
But how can you not drink from this other fountain?

You get restless, you say, when you don’t sip
the world’s fermentation. But if for one second
you saw the beauty of the clear water of God,
you’d think this other was embalming fluid.

Nearness to the Beloved is the splendor
of your life. Marry the Beloved.
Let the thorn of the ego slide from your foot.

What a relief to be empty!
Then God can live your life.

When you stay tied to mind and desire, you stumble
in the mud like a nearsighted donkey.

Keep smelling Joseph’s shirt.
Don’t be satisfied with borrowed light.
Let your brow and your face illuminate with union.

Rumi( a great muslim spritual poet)
