[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am friends with tons of Jews but I could never ask this question. Do you think you are special/chosen and the rest of us are not?

I grew up Catholic but don't practice and never identified as being special or saved in some way.

Just wondering-- thanks[/quote]

To be honest, I do. I didn't have that clarity growing up when I was in Saturday or Sunday school and in Hebrew school. As ive matured, I view religion a bit differently. I don't walk around entitled.[/quote]

Does chosen mean better?

Are there non-chosen people who you consider to be close personal friends?

Do you have any feelings towards people who are not chosen, good, bad, indifferent, or indifferent w/contempt?

Are chosen and non-chosen people equal in your eyes?[/quote]

Chosen does not equal better. I have many close personal friends who are not Jewish. No feelings of contempt. People are equal. We just have different stories of how we got here. [/quote]

Thanks - that's what I thought, but the whole chosen thing always made me wonder.[/quote]
