A Chosen People? Human Whimsy Disguised as Divine Will

The notion that a particular group holds God’s special favor is the pinnacle of collective narcissism—a theological delusion crafted to inflate egos and justify supremacies. To imagine that the Creator of the universe operates an exclusive VIP club is as absurd as believing gravity enforces membership policies.

Pause for a moment. Look at the vastness of the cosmos. Galaxies colliding, black holes swallowing light, planets twirling in a cosmic ballet. And in the midst of this infinite grandeur, are we seriously supposed to believe that the primary concern of a cosmic intelligence is an ancient tribal group and its dress codes and diet? Please.

Dogma vs. Reason

Stories about divine selection have an author with a suspiciously convenient agenda: the very people claiming to be chosen. What a coincidence. It’s like an emperor penning his own biography, declaring himself the pinnacle of virtue. But this isn’t unique. Egyptians, Romans, Chinese—each has played the same card of divine self-importance. The only difference? Some mythologies were relegated to museums, while others continue justifying policies, conflicts, and exclusions.

Because if nature teaches us anything, it is its impartiality. Physics has no favorites. Biology doesn’t bestow celestial genetic privileges. Thermodynamics makes no exceptions for spiritual reasons. And yet, theology—ever adept at distorting the obvious—tries to sell us a God who dabbles in geopolitics, handing out land grants like a medieval monarch.

The Trap of Divine Election

The issue isn’t just logical inconsistency—it’s the consequences. If God has a chosen people, the rest are left on a lower rung, the less favored. And what follows? The divine right to conquer, to subjugate, to marginalize. Because when superiority is grounded in a celestial decree, oppression isn’t just allowed—it’s justified. History bears witness, in blood.

Deism dismantles this fantasy with brutal simplicity: If God is the ordering principle of the universe, He has neither the time nor the interest to draft exclusive contracts with ancient tribes or dispatch prophets with membership clauses. Spirituality is an open-access experience—no fees, no intermediaries, no stone-carved manuals.

God Does Not Sign Earthly Contracts

The idea of a chosen people is nothing more than a human need masquerading as cosmic truth—a projection of our longing to feel special in a world that, in reality, grants mystical privileges to no one. And reality is ruthless: existence moves forward without consulting sacred scriptures.

Meanwhile, the universe, vast and indifferent, continues to expand—without stopping to validate dogmas.
