    Also, the “divine monarchist” point is a weird one. When asked about it, Jesus asserted that his kingdom is “not of this world”. And when the Israelite demanded of them relief from the anarchy of the period of the Judges in the form of “a king like the nations have”, the response was “don’t you already have an even better one?” Which is what John Locke cited when writing against monarchy as practiced at the time.

      So, a divine monarch.

      Him. The King of the Jews. Their God.

      Your cope is weird, purposefully myopic, and misses the obvious joking tone of the comment.
