If you had any grasp of the Bible whatsoever (aside from the ability to cut and paste), you would understand that Israel (i.e. the Jews) were indeed God's chosen people. Saying "no, it isnt" is an asinine argument.
And, in the spirit of cutting and pasting, here's the definition of asinine for you, straight from webster.com:
asinine. Main Entry: as·i·nine Pronunciation: 'a-s&n-"In Function: adjective Etymology: Latin asininus, from
asinus ass
1 : marked by inexcusable failure to exercise intelligence or sound judgment <an asinine excuse>
2 : of, relating to, or resembling an ass
synonym see SIMPLE
Hey "asinine" that sounds just like any cretin who thinks Godless cursed, antichrist jews (atheist jews, agnostic jews, pagan jews, orthodox jew observant jews) are all "God's Chosen people. . . . .yeah chosen to be cursed Godless and antiChristian. . . . .
Jews are not alone in their high rates of exogamy. American hyphenated Greeks, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Poles, Czechoslovakians, Italians are undergoing high levels of intermarriage. But there are differences. They have a higher birthrates than Jews;
Jews are the oldest mean-aged ethnic group in America; the Jewish birthrate barely matches its mortality rate; all this within two generations of our having lost fully one-third of our numbers in Hitler's war against us. In Argentina , where anti-Semitism seems endemic, the number of practicing Jews has declined from 500,000 to 300,000 in the last generation. The decline, ironically, is not attributed to anti-Semitism per se as to assimilation-------itself the product of weakening Jewish educational institutions.

And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: Deuteronomy 28:62-65
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. Deuteronomy 7:14
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Matthew 27:25
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Exodus 1:6-10
