I view royalty as basically the people with the most weapons at some point in history, who then got greedy and decided to take over another king's land, weapons, resources, people and wealth. That's the simplistic view of how kingdoms were built - on killing, stealing and destroying. With power, money, etc, these leaders reached superhuman status - even now that most of them don't need to fight for anything.
But for those familiar with the Bible, doesn't "killing, stealing and destroying" sound VERY FAMILIAR? Who does that remind you of? Is the entire concept of royalty somehow Satanic and evil? Is the world sort of topsy-turvy that we so highly prize people who gained power like this?
