I am Jewish, and the idea of Jews being the chosen people is one that has troubled me. I admit I haven't done my research on this.

A lot of religions have a version of this concept. For example, many Christians believe that accepting Jesus as the savior is the only path to heaven.

For myself, my belief in God doesn't strongly relate to my interest in the afterlife, so wether or not I am "chosen" seems like a discussion I don't need to have.

However, I do think that, in a more general sense, if you believe in God, then that should do it. And it doesn't matter to me if you call God as Jesus, Buddha, Alla or whatever.

I use the Bible as a guide, but if you take everything in the Bible literally, then it causes conflict.
