However because you are humble before God you respect the people who you believe are doing Gods call. When you take God out of the picture all you have is the everybody is equal story.
Would that "everybody is equal" story happen to include the slaves that both the old and new testament were happy to have? The lengthy hit-list of other nations and people that should be killed for disagreeing with the bible? Is it the type of equality that precludes women from holding certain positions of power and mandates their subservience to men?
You've got a very odd idea of equality, if you can read the bible and come to the conclusion that it treats people equally.
