For the people typing posts in other languages, do you expect everyone to copy and paste your posts in Google translate, and then get back to you?

What's the point of posting something in a different language if most of the people here won't understood you?

Or are they just trying to show off?

I speak a bunch of different languages too. Should I start posting in different languages too?
I mean, what's the point?
Aren't we here just to get the message across?
Why make that difficult by compelling others to use a translator?

I did it once to prove a point.

There was someone who kept making biblical posts and commenting on political posts, but stating she wasn't prejudiced

She then made a post asking people to pray with her, so i did. I shared with her the Lord's prayer but in arabic

She blocked me

@BabyLonia That is fucking awesome! You are my hero. The thing about Arabic, and this was true and Catholicism until they dropped the Latin, is that both of those languages can be very poetic, especially Arabic, and listening to beautiful poetry evening the link but you don’t understand can be inspiring. I am not a believer, but I do enjoy some of the Psalms, and the surahs

@SatyrService for me it is the assumption that no arabs are Christian.
The bible is printed in arabic, urdu, hindi, punjabi, thai, japanese

But yes arabic is so poetic
