An old profession topic

Pastors seem more like pimps to me. But the word 'whore' has a metallic clang to it. I can see why it was chosen. :P

Both were done long ago ... and there is no "before God".

Absolute power might for whatever reason corrupt absolutely among humans, but that does not mean or prove the same to be true of God.


Well, you know, God has used his power to commit planetary genocide. I'd say he's pretty corrupt.

I do not know specifically what you mean by "planetary genocide", but I do not question His "right" or whatever to destroy evil ... and that would mean even me, if fitting. But, that would be a different question. The statement had been made that God is corrupt because He decides what is sin, and I am still waiting for some kind of reasonable logic behind such a statement.

I thought it was supposed to be the church who was the whore and not the pastor.

Anyway, the whore of Babylon is real and you can experience her for yourself.
