Reminds me of an discussion taking place between two guys in a book (fiction). The setting is post-apocalyptic. They are gathered with a group of survivors and one evening one of them reads the Bible out loud as a way to pass time. Just read, not preaching. After a while, one guy asks :

"According to the Book, all of us come from Adam and Eve?"
"Yes, that's what it says."
"And Adam and Eve were Jews, right?"
"Again, yes."
"So we are all Jews?"
"In a a way..."
"Then why do the Jews think they are more Jewish than us?"

While I think this discussion was there for some comic relief in the book, and sure I laughed, I thought that the question was interesting.
