Isn't it incongruous with belief in one universal almighty all-encompassing divinity to contend that favoritism from such is extended to a particular group?

No, it is not. As the Almighty, He can do what He wants and choose who He wants. Sovereign Will is what it is.

He is not constrained by what we deem to be "fair".

Surely humankind has outgrown such tribalistic views.

Tribalistic? I won't go there.

And after all, many religions have contended that their supporters would be blessed and their opponents cursed.

True, but your point is...?

Further, isn't it incongruous with Christianity to contend that even the most faithful Christians have lesser status than even one other religious group?

First, your premise is extremely flawed. Second, your quesion begs even more questions, i.e., are you a deist, agnostic, or atheist?


This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

Would you kneel before a king who would do anything, evil or good, at anytime sans rhyme or reason? Surely this is the image of a despot, and not almighty divinity. And surely, there must be clear differentiation between the latter and the former for the two to indeed be different.
