Democracy: Trying to be God

I recently heard about R.C. Hoiles, a multi-millionaire newspaper tycoon, who said

school texts exposed the political "error" of the divine right of kings … they never explained the error in the divine right of the majority. [They] simply substituted the divine right of the majority for the divine right of kings."

Usually I approach political arguments Rothbard-style by applying natural rights.  But what other rights have been accepted as legitimate in human history?  The divine right is one.  Supposedly, God has the right to murder and it is just.  God has a history of (justly) withholding resources from his people even including night when the sun/earth stayed still for 3 days.  So when kings were looked upon as images of God, they could get away with murder, hoarding, and stealing.  Then we had the enlightenment and Kingdoms vanished (roughly speaking).  But what emerged was really no different as Hoiles points out.

No individual or groups of individuals can claim divine right.  Though this truth was known long ago, we remain in a dark age of political nonsense.  For obeying their god-king, we laugh at peasants of old, then we walk to the polling booth to elect our own human incarnation of divinity.  It is the ultimate sin to play God and so it is equally sinful to condone and participate in the political means.  All Christians should reject monarchy, democracy, aristocracy, etc. as the sin of acting as God.  But the serpent is crafty and so many will baulk at that conclusion.  The price for eating the fruit was death, and considering god-kings killed over 100 million people last century (not including war casualties), the threat is more than theological.
