Extreme divine right of kings theory is just as modern as liberal contract theory. Both are rooted in theological voluntarism.

I’m sick and tired of seeing conspiracy theories about the Texas Floods. The government didn’t cause the floods. Evil scientists didn’t cause the floods. Texas isn’t being punished by God with floods. Global warming didn’t cause the floods. Historically, Texas is flood
