An abomination is anything associated with the worship of false gods or any activity that perverts the way God intended human beings to live and behave. A list of such behaviors may be found in Leviticus 18.
The vagueness of its definition, combined with debates over its validity as a legal argument in United States law (considering the laws would equally apply to non-Christians) has led to numerous problems in recent years[1][2][3][4][5]. Specifically, Lawrence v. Texas suggests that the era of subjective morality-based legislation is at an end.[6]
