Randy doesn't even understand what the concept of 'Chosen People' means to Jews (we have to do more stuff and don't believe we'll get more out of it - no sitting up there, watching sinners burn below - sounds bonkers but, hey, it's a Jewish thing . . .).
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
