They are proxies for the will of their deity, and in most cases, they are tasked to attend to the needs of the congregation and enlarge it.And enlarging the congregation is usually done by showing that the deity in question cares for their needs - even if the people aren't aware of these needs yet, in which case they need to be convinced of them. Since the clerics are the proxy of the deity, that means that they have to care about the needs of the people around them - or at least appear to. Asking about the thoughts of the people around them is an important step.And yes, all this should probably appliy to clerics of Erythnul, too (though I am not too familiar with Greyhawk). After all, the cult needs to spread somehow - and they might make inroads if they show that wanton slaughter is a great way of releasing stress and inner turmoil.</blockquote>
