en-wikipedia-org-7653		Criticism of Judaism - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	5464	716	63	Baruch Spinoza,[1] Mordecai Kaplan,[2] and prominent atheists[3] have criticized Judaism because its theology and religious texts describe a personal God who has conversations with important figures from ancient Israel (Moses, Abraham, etc.) and forms relationships and covenants with the Jewish people. Most branches of Judaism consider Jews to be the "chosen people" in the sense that they have special role to "preserve God's revelations"[5] or to "affirm our common humanity".[6] This attitude is reflected, for example, in the policy statement of Reform Judaism which holds that Jews have a responsibility to "cooperate with all men in the establishment of the kingdom of God, of universal brotherhood, Justice, truth, and peace on earth".[7] Some secular and critics affiliated with other religions claim the concept implies favoritism or superiority,[8] as have some Jewish critics, such as Baruch Spinoza.[9] 	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7653.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7653.txt
