A universal god would not have a chosen people
Is it really believable, reasonable, or logical
that a universal God
would have a chosen people ....
that they would then "unchoose"?
Is it really believable
that they would only communicate
with a small group of people
and give specific duties, privileges, laws, and commandments
only for this people?
The questions are rhetorical.
It is not believable or reasonable.
It obviously started with Judaism.
Christianity came along and the chosen people became anyone who accepts Jesus as the Messiah.
Islam then came on the scene and the new chosen people became those who submit to the will of Allah.
In modern times, the chosen ones became the choosy mothers who choose Jiff.
The idea of a chosen people and the competing definitions of who is chosen have all the qualities of human constructs.
The Abrahamic religions are certainly not indicative of something that could be expected from an intelligent designer of the universe.
