2. guilt certainly does exist.

Recently I googled an aphorism that '1 lie begets 7 lies', which led me to a page that quoted Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546). Luther's denunciation of "Jews" made me sick. It was all couched in some weird religious (?) language, which further sickened me. When I say "sick" I mean that reading this stuff physically sickens me, makes it harder for me to physically exist, to enjoy happiness. What kind of sickness? I think I'm confronting "religious insanity", where whatever spurious "belief" is cited to justify whatever sick social insanity - and this insanity is imposed on large segments of the population.

"guilt" certainly isn't limited to "the holocaust", it encompasses the whole f*cking thing.
