Don't get me wrong, we are all brother and sisters, created in the image of G-d.
It's just that according to what G-d says in the Hebrew bible, he singled us out to do His mission.
That consists of teaching others how G-d wants us to treat each other while we are here on this Earth.
Sorry, didn't mean it to be a slap in the face.
It's no trouble. You were honest and that's what I need to hear. Does the Christian (Catholic) perspective on this question sound strange to you?
