OP, your question comes from a place of ignorance. Go study theology for a while, then come back and reframe your question once you understand what you are asking.

The only thing I can thing of is that God created humans in his image, therefore just like them he must have had his favorite kid.



Op are you referring to Gods relationship with the Jewish people? He established that bond as a means by which to reach out to humanity


Umm... God created people no? Why ne needed to reach to them? And why not to reach to every other bunch in other corners of the Earth? Cause you know.. back then people did not exactly traveled that much.
And they all were on the same stage of development for the most part.


According to the midrash G-d DID offer the Torah to all the nations of the world and the Jews were the only ones that accepted it.


Really? Then that makes the Jews really smart, right?

But Catholics think they are the "one, true religion" so what gives?


They're both right. God can do that.

Does this mean that God, like humans, has sexual desires?

Here's another possibility -- it's just a story - an ancient story made up by and for a small group of people thousands of years ago.

It's one of many "origin stories" that different cultures are known to have.

Good point. Now go, make yourself a drink as a reward and come back for more questions.
