There are only questions of what guilt is used for, and whether or not that guilt ends more lives than it saves.

That starts to remind me of medieval Christianity. The only question is whether you can save souls from eternal torment, anything that happens in this world is utterly irrelevant in comparison, and guilt, yes, guilt is a very useful tool.

Thank you, I'll pass.

This isn't exclusively medieval. Lots of modern Evangelicals view the world in rather stark heaven/hell terms.
