Religion

I have nothing (much) about religions. People should believe whatever they want. Most religions based on the belief of one God. That is fine with me. The thing is if God is there and understanding why is there a need to worship in different languages?

Why was Latin the dominant language of the Roman Catholic church? Why Hebrew is the dominant praying language of the Jews. Moslems pray in Arabic to Allah. In different languages God has different names but it is the same God. That means He understands all languages and there is no need for the mysticism of the Latin language or the Hebrew.

In reform synagogues praying goes on in Hebrew and English. That means God understands both. Then why bring Hebrew in? Why the prayers can not go on the particular country's language since God understands it all? I have a serious problem comprehending this.

Since I am not that observant, I turn more to the reform services but do not like when they mix English and Hebrew. Why? With Hebrew I believe they want to keep that mysticism about the religion. It probably worked in ancient days when the priests were ruling over the people but now it is not so in our civilized society.

Going back to Hebrew. Is the language in the prayer books are the same as the spoken language of Israel? The same language applies to the Koran. Is that same arabic as the spoken Arab language?

Just curious.
