But this attitude (holding someone else responsible) seems to be 
precisely what Nietzsche seems to think characterizes much of what is 
wrong with slave morality and to some degree, Christianity in general. 
Further, does the transformation of modern Christianity into another 
(maybe more virulent form of slave morality) really constitute the death 
of God/Christianity that Nietzsche had in mind?
