Most religions teach we are all equal. In the United States, all men are considered to be created equally. Do you believe we're all equal? Has anyone every made you feel like less than them?

Yeah, I believe that God created us equally in some degree. However one might thinks that why someone has one special aptitude than you have?? I fwe think back, God (ALLAH S.W.T) created everybody differently. This is because because God wants us to appreciate each other. You might wonder that why God didn't created people equally in all sense. If you think deeply, you'll find because God wants us to learn from each others and appreciate them. My advice is, be yourself what you think is good.

Of course we are all equal. My feeling of those who try to make others feel inadequate have a personal problem of "little man syndrome". To answer the question of ever felt less that someone else...yes when I was younger and didn't know any better. I do not give my time to rude and inconsiderate people.

Abused peope, rape victimes, and others who are oppressed are taught to feel less than anyone. There's hope, though. Education, a really good psychotherapist, and the most wonderful husband on earth have taught me about equality. Now I truly believe we are all equal, and nobody is better than I. Or you. Or anyone else! Could it be that it's the inequality in some societies that permits all the horrors of violence and terrorism?

I do believe we are all equal... there is no one greater than or less than ... anyone. some people just display humility better than some. I really can't say that anyONE has made me feel less than human.. but I have felt worthless a time or two.... on my very own.
