I came here to say basically the same thing.
Have people forgotten, that Jesus is considered the King of the Jews? π€
He was not considered the king of Jews by the Jews though (except mockingly). I should think they would have a say in the matter.
I dunno, I never met the fella π€·ββοΈ
A rando born in a barn and who was wanted dead by his people is the king of them?
Says who.
He's not. He's a Roman, his father's a centurion in the Jerusalem garrison, and his name is Naughtius Maximus.

I'm not religious BTW.
So itβs by Christians, who the fuck are they to decide who someone elseβs king is.
Might want to look into how Christianity came to be. It wasn't a separate religion early on
He ain't our king. Homeboy did not meet all of the criteria for him to be the Jewish Messiah, his followers conveniently ignored that.

Disclaimer: I am absolutely not any sort of religious expert.
So that's from the new testament which is all Christian stuff.
