Question for atheists

[Evolved]

Methinks we are being baited by a believer who is parading as someone who has questions.    I'm waiting for the "truth".

There is no evidence that god chose these people. Wouldn’t you need faith to believe that?

Yes.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Your welcome, glad I could help.

If you are talking about jews as a people (as I seem to understand you are), then I don't understand what the question is. If you are talking about followers of judaism, then I don't understand how this question is best answered by atheists. Ask someone who defines him/herself as a jew about who and what they are.

When it comes to jews as a people and the implication of divine connection, that is something we have to thank theists for.

This has nothing at all to do with atheists and theists agreeing. Personally, and I think I can speak for virtually every atheist on this board, I will agree with anyone who is objectively or when it's called for subjectively correct in their claims regardless of their allegiance.
