Leslie41:
Check my first post where I clearly cite that I am talking 
about "immorality" and not "immortality":

"Leslie41:

The word "hore" in middle/old english means "whore". Whorecrosses.
Makes sense. In the bible whores are associated with idolatry and
faithlessness to god. Even if we don't bring the bible into it, the
word is associated with immorality and compromised principles."


It's your following post that completely misreads the word 
as "immortality." As I originally spoke of immorality and 
not "immortality," I never noticed the misreading.

But I would admit and agree with you, certainly, that whores have 
absolutely nothing to do with immortality!
