Do monarchs actually believe that their power to reign literally comes from God himself? If so you'd think they'd have significantly less security; should an assassin have his gun pointed at the king then God save the king and have a lightning bolt from strike down the assassin. If God decides at that moment that the kings rule is over then God will it.
Do IRL kings and queens actually believe their own bullshit?

I'm a monarchist. Since when does truth or morality come from a majority vote? Since never. Anyone who believes in democracy in 2019 is naive and also blind and also lives under a rock.

By this logic lets have assassin point gun at the democratically elected president then if God stops him blah blah blah democracy must be real.
OR we can use common sense to determine that democracy is a sham, no weird assassination test or attempts at tempting God involved.

For Catholics the papacy is a divine authority, which is why coronations by the pope or other local Catholic authority was seen as the legitimization of power given by God. But I do not think most would consider their rule to be literally divine, though some probably did.

It's astonishing how atheists who so proudly claim to have read the Bible and other religious books several times can't grasp the concept of free will.

Democracies don't claim their power comes from god unlike monarchies so it isn't comparable dumb fuck

Jesus power came from God and so did all the Apostles power came from God and they still got murdered. Murder has nothing to do with "power comes from God".
From Christianity technically everyone's power comes from God since he has domain over everything. But our power can still be misused (and most often is by democratically elected politicians since it attracts the biggest sociopaths).
Truth and morality still doesn't come from majority vote.
