I wanted to hear everyone's opinion on this story. I was not sure if this belonged on literature or main, so if it doesn't belong here just let me know. Anyway, the story begins with a priest and a rabbi discussing the language of god. The priest believes that the language of god is Latin, while the rabbi said that the language of god is Hebrew. To resolve this dispute, they agreed to take a newborn orphan and put him in a monastery. None of the monks in the monastery could talk, and the child would not be allowed outside. The priest and rabbi figured that by doing this, the language the child spoke would be the language of god, untainted by outside influences. The child never learned to speak.
It belongs here. It's an interesting thought that rings a lot of truth. It makes people think, but I'm not quite sure where you are going with it. It's too broad for me to have much of an opinion on it.
Well, this is just an analysis... God doesn't have a language. Languages were invented by man. You could say that God is above and before languages. If you look at the Tower of Babel story, there was only one language, but God scrambled it. So he neither spoke Hebrew or Greek. Since that unified language no longer exists, that child could not learn to speak it.
