Well, that last statement reminds me of my favorite quote from Paul: "We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with Powers and Principalities"
The Powers that Be are not necessarily a bunch of people sitting around a table rubbing their hands together and cackling, but forces and ideas and perspectives that have a momentum of their own and work through people.
On the other hand, some of your post seems to me to be dangerously close to anti-rationalism, but maybe that's just my cracked lens.
