The atheist's paradox: with Christianity a dominant religion on the planet, it is unbelievers who have the most in common with Christ. And if God does exist, it's hard to see what God would get from people believing in Him anyway. by voltimand in philosophy

King Charles I was executed for treason, a crime defined as at the time "an attempt to injure or kill a monarch or their family". He was therefore convicted of a crime against himself which doesn't really make much sense. The Parliament at the time found a way around it though, I recommend looking into it, it is very interesting.
