I wasn't implying they are/were or not chosen.It was a reference to your statement on the bible being a philosophy of power and the origins of psychology.

None of them.You?

Just one of those movies.

Power and psychology seem to go together and as you've said their contribution in psychology is significant.If you can,explain the subtlety of 'choosing of a people' in terms of philosophy of power and the bible.

What would be the appropriate term to use apart from Jew that wouldn't be described as 'witcraft'?

The Bible or any religious text, is not only taken as 'God's word' but is also a basis of action that's interpreted by a community that shares in the language and culture in which the revelation has taken place. This immediately isolates the non members of the community and hence creates a chosen people. Such that the God of the traditional Jewish society isn't the God of the Christians, and thus anti-semitism arises. For example, when the founder(s) of the state of Israel went to the Pope for support, they were gently informed that unless they accepted the divinity of Christ they would get no support. Nowadays, I see evangelicals supporting the Zionists even to the extent of supporting wars- like the removal of Saddam Hussein from power.

These psychologists and scientists were Germans, Hungarians, Austrians and the like. Why not refer them according to these nationalities? Wouldn't that at least open a different kind of 'witcraft'?
