Existential Guilt:

Deeper than the Pangs of Conscience

SYNOPSIS:

    Human beings have been feeling guilt 
since before the dawn of civilization. 
The decline of organized religion in the West 
has corresponded with less interest in guilt. 
But at least for some people,
it is still relevant to look into
the deeper dimensions of the experience of guilt. 
 
This cyber-sermon analyzes the psychological phenomenon
of pangs of moral conscience.
Then it probes deeper into a form of guilt
that is much more difficult to understand---existential guilt
