It doesn’t make sense to me. Anathema means: banished, cursed, excommunicated.

How can you even say that is a banishment to me?

How can you even say that is a curse to me?

How can you even say that is an excommunication to me?

Don’t make much sense does it?

I tried to help you, but it might be that the word was used improperly. Or is that supposed to be two sentences (i.e. “How can you even say that? That is an anathema to me.”)

Here is the definition of an anathema…

a·nath·e·ma /əˈnæθəmə/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation[uh-nath-uh-muh] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun, plural -mas. 1. a person or thing detested or loathed: That subject is anathema to him.

2. a person or thing accursed or consigned to damnation or destruction.

3. a formal ecclesiastical curse involving excommunication.

4. any imprecation of divine punishment.

5. a curse; execration.

anathema means the following:

1. a person or thing detested or loathed: That subject is anathema to him.

2. a person or thing accursed or consigned to damnation or destruction.

3. a formal ecclesiastical curse involving excommunication.

4. any imprecation of divine punishment.

5. a curse; execration.

so it means that someone assumed that he/she detests/loathes/considers accursed something he/she actually has different feelings for. so he/she is retaliating 🙂

got it?

ANATHEMA means,

One that is cursed or damned.

One that is greatly reviled, loathed, or shunned.

Something hated

The man who is anathematized is denied communication with the faithful, and he is delivered to the demon if he dies without absolution.

“How can you even say, that is cursed to me?”
