[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, with Exodus, if there was no god, what did the people of Israel even here? Which leads to the question, why would they accept the covenant if they didn't hear anything?[/quote] You are confused. The question at issue is what is the status of the non-believing Jew, from the standpoint of a believing Jew. To the believing Jew of course G-d was present at Sinai and that was the basis of the covenant. BUT the covenant still encompasses and binds all the descendants of the Israelites who made the covenant - EVEN any given individual descendant who is not a believer. From the stand point of the non-believer, Exodus is a fairy tale (to some a beautiful fairy tale) and there is no god, no covenant, and thus no Jewish chosenness. Which is why I know of know atheists who believe the Jews to be chosen, though some are very proud of the being Jewish.[/quote]
