If specialness = centricity, I have to agree...

If special is like the way each child in a family can be special, loved and cared for in the way that suits them best, then that's OK too... We can be 'special' still, but not the sole reason for existance.

But yeah, the 'me, me, me, I'm the only one to enjoy a relationship with the 'true' God' is kinda sick. Not to mention the 'and since you don't, you exist on my whim' crap.

But then, humans can take any ideology - even (especially?) the noble ones and twist it into a horror that would make Nyarlothep proud.

It's our 'special' talent.
