[edit] Lozana

What about mentioning the Sack of Rome and Roman whores like Portrait of Lozana?

The Roman Catholic Church denies the claim that it is the being referred to by the Book of Revelation as the Whore of Babylon...

Am I the only one to find this statement comical? ;) I mean: it sounds like the RCC for a moment considered that possibility...

[edit] actual woman

The Whore of Babylon could be an actual woman. Though christians haven't heard about this claim.--168.13.191.66 20:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Babylonian Goddess

What about the possible (and most sensible) connection with Ishtar as the literal "Whore of Babylon"...or has this one passed everyone by??

[edit] United States as the Whore of Babylon

I think this part needs to be re-written. The citations do not completly support the content, and the voice is biased, it tends to agree with The US being the Whore. (Atleast in tone)

[edit] Bible Quote section

Revelation 17:4-18 Quotes are lovely except they are excessive when we need to be concise and clear. We're not here to give Bible lessons. These should be trimmed excessively and interspersed with what is symbolic and of what is it symbolic of. Benjiboi 09:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
