Surely people that were born in some parts of Europe are better off than let's say Bali or East Timor ? They are not given the same opportunity. That is what I mean, and nothing else.

It isn't crap if you understand what is meant by "all men are created equal".... It doesn't mean everybody has the same wealth, intelligence, attractiveness, opportunity, or whatever else. It means that each and every human baby that is born - without any clothes and without any accomplishment - comes into this world on the same terms and of equal worth in the eyes of any Creator or Nature or in the eyes of anyone who doesn't think one's family situation or culture is the measure of one's worth or value.
The idea that every single little baby that is born into this world is as good as every other little baby that is born into this world isn't just a saying. It is a fact.

You're misinterpreting this. Born equal means that we are created equal in the eyes of God, or that we have equal value as human beings. Born luckier, more fortunate, richer, smarter - those things can be different - but every human life is equally important. The person in Bali, that you mention, has just as much right to exist and be respected as someone in Europe but the circumstances of his life may not give him equal opportunity.

According to Most religions and I am sure about Islam. A person is judged according to the opportunities he had and of them how best he used them. It is not what he has achieved in this world what matters. What matters is how well he proved himself to be. The worthy rewards will be in the afterlife according to this. Sure all men become equally oppotune this way.

Not men not even women... I agree.
Take for example people from the some country, say, US... If you are born a President's child, you are nowhere equal to an American peasant's child... NO equal opprtunities!

Key word in your statement, "given" (opportunity). Who said that life was fair? Because someone was born to poverty does not mean that they cannot overcome it.
Opportunity is everywhere but one must seize it when it presents itself or are you just waiting on a handout?

in case you knew the observe of God, God needless to say reported there could be NO peace in the middle East till He returns to repair peace in this earth. The antichrist will enable peace for Israel for 3 a million/2 years in basic terms and then the antichrist will turn against Israel as quickly as returned. at that factor, no guy ought to desire to be in this earth. That starts the super Tribulation. Pray with out ceasing my buddy, for the reason this is our in basic terms wish. i admire Jerusalem, so I pray continually for the peace of Jerusalem. Lord have mercy on our souls.

All men are CREATED equal. Their essence, their being, their life is no more or less valuable than any one elses. The lives they live, for example, posessions, oppertunities, status, may not be equal, but the person themselves are equal.

well, men are born equal in the eyes of god i suppose, however one has to learn to deal with the life handed out to them and you can make it better if you are wise instead of a wiseazz

"All men are born equal" ...means we come into the world with roughly the same equipment...you know, heart, brain, mouth, etc...
Then we screw up or do well from there...the statement was never about location, far as I know.

All are equal in God's creation.
For your point, "Men are equal" the quotation it self something else. in reality, they are unequal that's why you are forced to quot this.
