Right, that's my point. Jews wrote the Bible and, entirely by coincidence, Jews were God's chosen people. It would be kind of silly to make that assertion and then subvert it by not placing themselves at the center of the rest of the story, especially when they were already pushing their luck reinventing the bloodthirsty and brutal god of the Jews into the meek and compassionate savior of the Christians.
