To say otherwise is... well... it's just turning a blind eye to history  .

the monarchy has hijacked anything and everything to maintain its revolting tyranny for 1000s of years....the fact they tried to pervert Christs messages is irrelevant to Christs actual message....Im surprised you allowed the powers that be to befuddle you. It really is simple.
