abominations
Acts of depravity
Abominations are things regarded with intense disgust or hatred.
The word carries moral weight—abominations aren't merely unpleasant but deeply offensive to one's values or sensibilities: The text calls such practices abominations before God.
In casual use, abomination can describe anything found revolting: That building is an architectural abomination.
