McCain still backs the "whore" guy.
As an atheist, I find all this amusing..

i have no idea who said that, and in what context - but based on the info you gave - that is a fairly common biblicaly based comment that many biblical scholars would agree with.
but like i said - i don't know if that guy was taking that biblical prophecy of the (fairly common accepted understanding of the catholic church) being tagged as the whore, out of context or not (and with stuff apocrapyl, context is widely debatable) . but i just wanted to point out that many respected scholars would also make that comment.
whores ain't all that bad though... just their job is bad - and that's also fairly accurate to that biblical reference.
a quick search turned this up
Whore of Babylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
anyways - that guy may be using it whacky, and public opinion is probably reactionary to that reference, even when reasonably accurate.
