I do not know where you get that equality is a Judeo Christian concept, from my point of view my kind was given the vote last and little more than chattel under the Judeo Christian way of doing things. You know the most egaltarian societies are actually small scale hunter gatherer, or village based. They usually practice Animism and had bilineal family relationships. Pure democracy with wealth redistribution mechanisms were often common in such societies. Some of these societies handed down property through the maternal side (matrilineal). So while you are concentrating on Judeo Christianity as some sort of paragon of equality, I just do not see it that way, possibly because I do not own a penis
Well Natural Law which is derived from Gods Law pre-dates moses and the big ten which is the most obvious. (unless you know of another "written" accounting of it?)
Then those who would attach the label to it all, "Natural Law" such as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke etc etc etc.
The Roman orator Cicero († 43 B.C.) summed up an important strand of ancient thought when he argued in his De republica 3.22 that “true law was right reason that was congruent with nature.” He concluded that “there was one eternal, immutable, and unchangeable law” and that God had established it as the Emperor and Master of all humankind. Later Christian thinkers incorporated Cicero’s conception of law into their own thought.
now i didnt read all this as i goggled it and grabbed the first thing that came up in a lazy effort to make my point about Natural Law.
Natural Law is not derived from a singular point in time or culture as such as you seem to have indicated but moreso as a developemnt over time of the combination of philosophy, theology, and metaphysics etc, to its culmination as the fundamental principles resulting in the creation and developement of our constitutional inalienable rights.
