Good point
Especially considering that the bible SAYS god killed the children of egypt in order to show the difference between the egyptians and his people.

#1 I am NOT a christian
#2 the Jews were God's chosen people to spread his message to the entire world. Why did he choose the jews, because of all those on the earth the jews had more sincere followers, those of the old testement made mistakes like you an me, hell, noah got drunk and had sex with both his daughters, and king David had an affair with a married woman and killed her husband. But still God called him a man after his own heart. Why? Because deep down these were Good men who had stepped out on faith and done the lords work without knowing that everything was going to turn out okay. They were sincere in thier passion to make the world a better place. So Jesus was born into the Jewish bloodline making them his "chosen people". But segregation is what screwed up religion. All these different denominations and not a single church who really tries to make a difference, they care about money, how many people are sitting in the pews, and what suzie said about jamie after sunday school.

His people were not chosen for any special reward -- they were chosen for special obligations. Read the testaments (covenant/contract) in the "Old Testament." You will see that a contract implies obligations on both sides -- God will do..... and His people will do..... God has redeemed His people from slavery in Egypt and His people (at least Orthodox Jews) still comply with their side of the contract.
Judaism asserts that people are to be co-workers with God in preserving and improving the earth. We are to be stewards of the world's resources and to see that God's bounties are used for the benefit of all. Nothing that has value can be wasted or destroyed unnecessarily.
Judaism stresses that we are to love other people as ourselves, to be kind to strangers, "for we were strangers in the land of Egypt," and show compassion to the homeless, the poor, the orphan, the widow, even for enemies, and for all of God's creatures.
Judaism places great emphasis on reducing hunger. A Jew who helps to feed a hungry person is considered, in effect, to have fed God.
Judaism mandates that we seek and pursue peace. Great is peace, for it is one of God's names, all God's blessings are contained in it, it must be sought in times of war, and it will be the first blessing brought by the Messiah.
Judaism exhorts us to pursue justice, to work for a society where each person has the ability to obtain, through creative labor, the means to lead a dignified life for himself and his family.
Judaism stresses involvement, nonconformity, resistance to oppression and injustice, and a constant struggle against idolatry.
Every Jew's goal is peace on earth for all humanity -- all the righteous of the nations have a place in the world to come.

We all are his chosen people; we just individually decide if we want to be.
