Dave,
We are indeed worshipping a different God. I worship the God who became Incarnate of a daughter of Adam, and Who during His Incarnation chose to speak that evil "language of Babylon" - Aramaic. (If you weren't so uneducated about the topic, you would have realized that Akkadian, and not Aramaic, was the language of Babylon - but never mind.)
You also say Hebrew is blessed because it is being used in Israel today. God bless it, indeed. It was totally a dead language, a liturgical language, for nearly 2,000 before the *modern* version of it was created. Keep in mind, the *modern* vernacular spoken in Israel is *not* Biblical Hebrew - anywhere near resembling anything Moses would understand. It also uses the "Assyrian" script - another evil people who should have died out a long time ago. Like those Germans, God curse them. And anyone else today, too, who has ancestors who sinned even up to 3,000 years ago! Hopefully, you are excluded from that category.
Hebrew died out for 2,000 years. Aramaic did not - it is still spoken today in an unbroken chain that has lasted at least 4,000 years. So there. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/poketoungeb.gif" alt="" title="Poke Tounge" /><!-- s -->
But never mind - go on about your Greek and how the majority of Christians today use it. If you were born between the 1st and 14th centuries, the majority of Christians used the Aramaic.
These Christians, even till today, have suffered for their faith more than you ever can imagine in your comfort here in the west. Congratulations on minimizing their stand for their faith, a faith you can never even fathom.
