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."
What is good or bad ? What is angel or devil ?
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 ?
May be, we have to go through though moments to enable, transform, transcent, to improve our being.... ?

i will do my best :) but i m not sur i m the appropriate person (cause of the language and not sur i ve the ability to talk about it...)
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.
