Did God "give" an overwhelming advantage or is it simply that part of the world has an overwhelming advantage because of the accumulation of trillions of free will decisions man has made over the millenniums? For your point to be valid, you need God to have some control of most or all of people's actions.
Since I believe God judges you on the basis of your responses to the truths revealed to you (as we have been discussing for many posts), it is about as fair as a world can be that consists of people that have free.
Hmm. ‘Free’ to inevitably suffer the consequences of choices made by people perhaps thousands of years ago, and perhaps thousands of miles away? That’s not free or just.
