If one shares religious beliefs with a billion others, one should re-examine his theology.
Deuteronomy 7
6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

You are joking, right? If not, this is exegesis turned on its head and then its head buried in the ground. Do Genesis 15:5 and the dozens of similar verses to be found throughout the rest of the Old Testament from then on count for nothing?
Maybe you should re-examine your theology.
