What could we talk shout God? Talking must obey the Rule,that means reasonable.Speaking is speaking safely.Talking about God means putting God in belief into language,putting absurdity into reason,language of religion expressing in a way of reason.It must be keeping silence in the area of religions,ethic and aesthetics in Wittgenstein's early thoughs,When he turns to the language-philosophy in the later.all of the slient objeet are lair in the circle of language-game again.Obviously,Wittgenstein's attitude of religions can not be conclusion of silence or be refusing talking,Instead of avoiding the problem of religions.The way of that is very unique as he did in writing of philosophy,that makes it bard to talk abont the problems which he avoided.We dose not study his religious problems as one of the religions,but focus on the relastionship between the logic analysis about language-rule and the religious and ethical characteristic which comes ont from the whole work.Focus on the belief,religions is different from the everyday-language, because there is something difficult to express.One hand,these things which can not be expressed though available language clearly and directly bother us in deep level;another hand,expression seems to be only one way of emerging it.That makes the wish to expression stronger.Here we can know the language trouble where we are,only if we can treat the language as a one.In the analysis process of two words:believe and experience,language-game makes language into a extreme intransitive situation.Language-self forms the whole humanbeing's world.And the everyday-language now is a reason language fundamentality.Itself asks to be exactly described.So Wittgenstein's thought challenges the religious world.When language is described as a konwledge language,religious world is silent.Because all of mystery and all of the deeply rely on mystery that is expressed by language base on the conception of language and symbolize,not on the accumulation of experience and konwledge.Religion always is not konwledge. Then,religion has its language for itself.Yet the meaning is not go into the inner language,bat faces to infinity.So,silence does not mesns un-talking,but realize that language is rational one.Through talking about belief,get a view of the world as a one.Infactly,this is the only one way to get rid of the grammar.From the Subject "I"and the plural "we"to re-get the ego,that means get the whole world.
