    I was expecting something along the lines of a scripture with some supporting argument.

    Since you mention the prostitute representing Babylon, I’m going to guess you mean Revelations 17:16

    “these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire.”

    The prostitute mentioned in Revelations represents false religion, not an actual person. And fire in the Bible is often a metaphor for complete destruction, as in destroyed so thoroughly that something can never be repaired or restored.

    So the prostitute (false religion) will be destroyed so completely that it will never exist ever again.

        Many. In fact I was the lead the last major double-blind study. It’s in peer review right now, so you probably haven’t seen anything about it yet in any journals.

        Edit: /s if it wasn’t obvious
