Some thoughts:
"If one uses the existing social or cultural hierarchy to justify evil actions, I believe that is a violation of natural law, the real logos, and they are headed for a fall."

May be, if we divide things, we miss something ? we close doors?
"Natural law"
What is the natural law ?
"But I think working through this stuff is something humanity is working on collectively over a long period of time and with a lot of suffering in the lesson."
What is suffering ? What is good things ?

Also if, i need to look for a copy in my own language to limit misunderstanding and to limit misunderstanding between your intepretation and the book ;)

I live in a country where I'm not very good with the language yet, so I understand the difficulty. You're of course welcome, and encouraged, to participate however feels good for you.
