You honestly think those people have an equal chance?  After having extremely unequal lives???

So, you are basically saying you don't think any past experiences affect our choices....?

You said, "Then why doesn't everyone have an equal chance at 'revelation'?"

Since, in your scenario, god fully reveals himself to everyone, yes - everyone has an equal chance at revelation, that chance being 100%. 

You're trying to change it to equal chance of salvation. We've already covered this. Salvation is a function of mercy and grace. Even if you can prove that God doesn't offer it equally, that doesn't make him unjust.

Justice would have been served by Chelsea Manning serving his full sentence. I don't hear you guys complaining that Obama let him out early. And hopefully you get that, being in the news a lot, Manning had a better chance at pardon or commutation than most other criminals.
