There's a Russian philosopher from the early-mid 1900's, Nikolai Berdyayev who says somewhere that there's never been a true Christian society, that the family/patriarchal/monarchal view etc are all pagan in origin and have yet to be transfigured into a true Christian form.
I don't think that's the right understanding of how Christianity became the religion of europe, Christ offers something pagan religion can't, and is doesn't take synthesis of concepts and subversion of genre to show that. Not to mention those are all modern concepts you are projecting backwards, and the people of the time certainly didn't think in those terms.
Quality loses to quantity every time, here, in the materiel plane. It doesn't lose in the higher planes, since almost by definition quanity cannot access the higher planes.
So what's your idea of man's destiny and why we are here?
