I will try to address some of your other questions, but this was your response to whether you felt being chosen. Why do you feel chosen if you don't believe in G_d? "[b]To be honest, I do[/b]. I didn't have that clarity growing up when I was in Saturday or Sunday school and in Hebrew school. As I've matured, I view religion a bit differently. I don't walk around entitled." [/quote]

That quote was not me.

However like many people of all faith traditions, I do sometimes doubt.   When I doubt the existence of G-d, I ALSO doubt the chosenness of the Jewish people.  I am not sure the PP meant to say he was atheist (quite different from saying one views G-d differently or less clearly than as a child) or that he did not believe in G-d, but absolutely believed in Jewish chosenness.  You are conflating people not believing in G-d but still considering themselves Jewish, with people not believing in G-d but still believing in Jewish chosenness.   [/quote]

Are you saying someone else is appearing as you on this thread? It's pretty clear that the quote was meaning to be you. My main question is whether jewish people can still consider themselves chosen and not believe in god. Many come across to me as if they do believe their chosen even when they don't believe in god, but it's helpful to know a jew like yourself does not believe this.[/quote]
