422b. Never since human Kultur has existed has such a _deluge of lies and slanders_, of fraud and hypocrisy, been poured forth as ... "pious" England has spread abroad in the name of the triune Christian God. And this shameless hypocrisy must appear all the more revolting, since every one who is at all behind the scenes knows that this British _Christian God_ is in truth the _Bank of England_, the sacred "_Golden Calf_," the idolatrous worship of which is the chief aim of _Pambritismus_, the lordship of England over all other peoples.--PROF. E. HAECKEL, E.W., p. 59. 423. We _must_ be wroth, and we _will_ be wroth, with the whole power of our inner man. We will hate the will of the nation which has so basely set upon our peace-loving people in order to destroy us. We will hate the Satanic powers of arrogance and selfishness, of treachery and cruelty, of lying and hypocrisy. We will fight without scruple, and employ all means of destruction, however terrible they may be. We cannot do otherwise; but we do not hate the individual human beings.... The true, beneficent hatred applies to things, not persons.--_The Fifth Petition in the Lord's Prayer and England_, by PASTOR J. LAHUSEN, quoted in H.A.H., p. 162. 423a. The curse of millions of hapless people falls on the head of the British island kingdom, whose boundless national egoism knows no other goal than the extension of British rule over the whole planet, the exploitation of all other nations to its own benefit, and the filling of its insatiable purse with the gold of all other peoples.--PROF. E. HAECKEL, quoted by P. HEINSICK, W.U.G., p. 4. 424. It is an almost sinister self-contradiction: the individual Englishman, in private life, is by no means devoid of a certain outward decency, perhaps because he thinks it pays: but the public morals of England do not shrink from any baseness.--PROF. G. ROETHE, D.R.S.Z., No. 1, p. 14. 425. It is certain that it was in England that humanity first fell sick of the huckster view of the world. But the English ailment had spread further, and above all it had already begun to attack the body of even the German people.--PROF. W. SOMBART, H.U.H., p. 99. 425a. Covetousness, a huckstering spirit, a thirst for gain, calculating envy, hypocrisy--what despicable vices have they not become to us. We spit at them, we hate them, just because they are British.... Now we walk in gentle innocence through homely pastures, free from greed of money, stripped of all cunning, because--just because it is all British.--PASTOR D. VORWERK, quoted in H.A.H., p. 39. 426. The much-lauded missionary spirit was only a business enterprise, by means of which John Bull filled his purse.--"The Christianity of the Belligerent Nations," by PASTOR ERDMANN, quoted in H.A.H., p. 146.
