I say, "whore" is just a word, there's nothing wrong with saying a word. Certainly, nobody is promoting prostitution, especially if you listen to the context Mr. Staples is using the analogy in. Also, John, is it appropriate that God told Hosea, a godly man, to marry Gomer, a prostitute ??
It's interesting, I hear is a song about credit, and it's such a simple subject but it's sung so awesomely with such well-written lyrics. Definately one of my favorites, though I love all my babies...
"credit is a whore who won't wake up and leave" -- represents the instant gratification of using credit, but after the fact you've just been digging yourself deeper -- "i don't want to be a slave, I just wanna be free", you're still trapped by the credit. After you've gotten your gratification, the debt is still there, it hasn't woken up and left. "i'm tired of people chasing me" -- people chasing him to get the money the singer owes them. Of course credit could just be a metaphor for something else with similar characteristics, like sin perhaps.
