When you are "chosen" for a job, do you feel superior to everyone else?
God "chose" Israel for a purpose and we agreed to the Covenant. That doesn't make us superior to anyone. We have obligations to fulfill -- non-Jews don't have those same obligations.
No one is *superior.* We are all God's children, but some of us are expected to put a little more effort into this life.
You too can be "chosen," but not "superior."

Maybe some Jews believe that. However, there are other Jews who are sincere and devoted in their worship of The Almighty.
No one nation or people are spiritually superior to anyone else. There is Only One Who is Superior over all. Instead of worrying about who's superior, if everyone would recognize this, this would be a much more happier, safer, and peaceful world in which to live!

The short answer: No.
The longer answer: Jews believe that G-d gave them the laws to follow. Non-Jews are not obligated to follow the 613 laws of G-d. Anyone is free to worship G-d.

I cannot speak for other Jews, but I do not feel that I am spiritually superior to non-Jews.
Different people have different paths, who am I to say which is superior?
Such questions only God can answer.

Who cares about others spirituality or their beliefs?As long as their customs and rituals are kept to themselves and not inflicted on their neighbors do what you will. You live your life and I'll live mine. I try to live my life righteously and make my little corner of the world better for all. I don't understand xtian proselytizing, and the xtian attitude that they are better.

They do not "fulfill" the law. They "keep" the law.
Have you ever known of any ethnic group that believed they were inferior to all other ethnic groups?

Jews and Christians both believe the lies they believe because they have taken the words of Allah and twisted them. They have listened to Satan, and so they believe the filth of wicked.
