I have a huge problem with the concept of "chosen ones", Mystic. Oh, I know where it came from - tribal warfare, tribal war gods, our tribe is special, and those "other" guys aren't people. To say that a group is "chosen" - "we are gods' children" - opens the door to "and those other guys are NOT". Those other guys can burn. In some cases, we'll burn 'em FOR god - he would approve. It's dangerous and divisive and sociopathic.
