I tell you that it’s just the same when, on an average, once a month
I attend the local ‘retired business and professional men’s luncheon
club’. The elderly gentlemen commend me for my vegetarianism, but
somehow, feel no reason to follow my example. Yet, should an obscene
word, an unkindly comment of another be mentioned, or a member appear
without a tie, a bow, or - in my case a clerical collar – then they’d be
told – quite clearly - to come back next month appropriately dressed or
else to keep away as they would not be wanted.
Yes, such a fellowship is, undoubtedly, kind, most courteous, and not
without much care and compassion. And should I begin to ask myself: ‘are
these respectable and otherwise compassionate folk hypocrites, or have
they been brain washed over the years as to what is morally good and
what is morally disgusting. Well, I know the answer. The latter is the
case. The buck rests no more with them than it did when they were told
that there were no good Germans; and that to kill the enemy or else die
for king and country was honouring to God. Yes, they are the victims
of a past religious conditioning concerning what is right and wrong.
