&gt;  If you&#x27;re worried about that sort of arrogance, at least we don&#x27;t have kings believing they rule by divine right and nobility believing they&#x27;re carrying out God&#x27;s will through their king.<p>Honestly there is no much actual difference for those who are not in privileged position. They don&#x27;t care what kind of story people above keep saying to justify their status. I&#x27;m not convinced that new rationalization of why someone is &#x27;chosen&#x27; is any better than old fashioned &#x27;god-will&#x27; way.
