Title: ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION (RA)
Post by: CountFount on July 30, 2015, 09:04:09 PM: If used by a Greek, place in opponent's territory. Each time opponent draws cards (except during draw phase), you may discard a card in that territory except a Lost Soul.

So any drawing that an opponent does except draw, even if forced by his opponent results in activating Abom's ability. Correct? i.e. The Generous Widow

Yes sir any ability that causes them to draw triggers the bomb.

I actually had a really fun game against a deck that took advantage of Abom and Priest of Zeus... but I managed to discard his Abom shortly before or just after he got his Areopagus out... then I activated Golden Cheribum in Solomon's Temple protected by Glory of the Lord.

No. RBD is an instead, meaning that the reveal/discard happened, and the draw 'never happened'. They must draw cards in order to trigger abom.
