Attention
[edit]The Latin is wrong. The roots of this word suggest only “away or from” and “an omen.” The feeling of “detest” or “loathe” is very obvious editorializing, implicit bias, and could only be a late Christian invention—as examples of what is called famously “abomination” in the Bible litter through history. In Eusebius’s Life of Constantine, he wrote, ‘And inasmuch as the Egyptians, especially those of Alexandria, had been accustomed to honor their ‘river’ through a priesthood composed of [effeminate men/intersex/abomination], a further law was passed [by Constantine] commanding the extermination of the whole class as vicious, that no one might thenceforward be found tainted with the like impurity?’ Riisellipsis (talk) 05:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
