Guilt

In On the Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche associates appreciation of ancestors as gods with a feeling of guilt. This guilt is what the present generation owes the first generattion for the creation of their society. I disagree with this viewpoint for Christianity. This may be true asian religions where ancestors are worshipped. In Christianity, we don't worship Adam and Eve. God is our god. According to the bible, Adam and Eve are our ancestors. According to Nietzsche, " The conviction reigns that it is only through the sacrafices and accomplishments of the ancestors that the tribe exists-and that one has to pay them back with sacrafices and accomplishments : one thus recognizes a debt that constantly grows greater, since these forebears never cease, in their continued existence as powerful spirits, to accord the tribe new adavantages and new strength(89).
