THE BOOK OF BLOODY
BRITS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN
The divinity problem is solved
Chapter 12
Of course, the utter propriety of the Church of England did nothing to prevent a lot of lbloody religious conflicts,
2mSince the Brits still believed in the divine right of kings,
3Which meant that religious differences represented a great new excuse for claiming the throne,
4And started a whole new English nsport,
5Called the oCatholic Pretenders Game,
6Which was extremely popular for quite a while after Henry the Eighth died.
7In fact, it was pElizabeth I’s skill at this sport that finally enabled her to assume the throne of England and start the Brit quest for world dominion in earnest.
