This would explain why the notion of Divine Right of Kings was originally instituted, it provided a psychological barrier (somewhat) against the warriors just taking all of the stuff from the aristocracy. A purely rational / secularized society provides no such protection.
- quacked 5y agoI fully agree with you. I don't think the Divine Right of Kings is necessarily a good idea, but it blocks the formation of a warlord-driven society and restricts the right to rule to a single warlord. Have you noticed that despite the popular sentiment among left-leaners in America today being anti-police and anti-military, the overwhelming majority of the police and military are right-leaning? Trust of the public safety has been put into the hands of people who are not necessarily loyal to the people that are giving them the trust.
