king James was the English/Scottish king who's translation of the Bible went on to very firmly establish a lot of ideas by removing reference to tyranny being bad, translating a lot of things to mean eternal hell, his grandson would go on to establish the slave trade.

He was a paranoid murderer who's belief that the poor were more at risk of corruption by the devil led him to have roaming torurers extracting witchcraft confessions all across rural England and Scotland. He's also largely responsible for the popularisation of golf and birth of the British empire

My belief he and golfers are responsible for all bad things is largely unreasonable but on the other hand he was the king we had to learn about divine right of in school because of Shakespeare's cynical propaganda and I never stopped resenting the man for it. More reasonably the emperors Justinian and Constantine were largely responsible for Christianity becoming more of a tool of oppression. Although there is some evidence golf has roman origins so that's another mark for my "all golfers are always wrong" theory which I will admit is irrational and purely based on prejudice
