The prostitutes represent the nation of Israel, which was unfaithful to God and made alliances with pagan nations and adopted their religions. The language stresses the disgust which God and the prophet Ezekiel had toward Israel. What was wrong with using that language? The old testament world was not as civilized as the world is today. We want to make God into who we think he should be, but he is who he is. A loving God also can be an angry god.
lol I love the whole "This really meant this... you're reading it wrong..."! Love love love!
Pointing around: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out!"
