See the One Life in All Beings
The notion of superiority, whether religious, racial, or cultural, is logically absurd
My family gathers every Sunday, devout Catholics with hearts full of certainty. They are good people who believe with absolute conviction that Catholicism is the chosen path, the one true way. All others, they think, walk in darkness.
It is an evident lie because there cannot be two chosen ones. The very concept of being "chosen" implies exclusivity. It's "the chosen one," not "the chosen two" or "the chosen many." It's a fundamental logical contradiction. Because when multiple groups each claim to be exclusively chosen, they create an impossible scenario, like trying to have multiple "only children."
Catholics and Muslims both claim to be divinely chosen. Either one must be wrong (in which case, how can we determine which?), or both must be wrong. The argument collapses under its own weight.
