The ancient greek and roman way of thinking is the cure to this sick modernity that was brought about first by Christianity. It's more than just "legal thought". Look to Homer, look to their history.
Making "lesser people equal to noblility before the eyes of God" eventually leads to "everyone must be equal" communism.
Adoption of Christian thinking brought down the Roman Empire. A northstar goal of peace for all mankind is a goal of stillness and death. It is only through conflict that men temper and improve themselves to become better.
The best should be ruler and the lesser shouldn't have a say. Giving the lesser power has dysgenically destroyed humanity. Its a denial of nature and that leads to our demise.
Christianity preaches denial of nature by having you beg to a God that created the logic and laws of nature and asking Him to bend the rules of the whole universe just for you. Extremely selfish, narcissistic, and dishonorable in my view even if He actually allowed it.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of Christianity, but rather than get in an hours long back and forth of comments like I normally do, I'm going to advise you to voice your take to a Catholic/Orthodox priest or other traditional Christian apologist. Or at least look into apologetics. Suffice it to say Christianity absolutely works within human hierarchical frameworks. Given the current state of the faith though (infinite Protestant factions + LDS and whatnot), and given that it's a common gripe of mine, I can also see how you've come to your conclusion.

This is what I'm coming to believe now.
