Church Phobia... is it real?

Ok... I thought I had read everything. This has got me stumped... Is it Church Phobia or God Phobia?

Click Here for a definition. I guess simple church/house church would be a good thing for these people.

Do Simple Church / House Church people have this? Not this one!

The fact that someone has identified a fear about going to church and wants to sell a cure for it (along with any other phobia one mught have) just makes me wonder... Who comes up with these phobias anyway? Has excuse making for some turned into a cottage business for others? Are there that many people with Church Phobia that seek "professional" help? As Bill stated, is it really God Phobia?

The real question for me is why would someone be fearful about going to church? If phobias are based on negative experiences then the church needs to ask herself why folks are staying away!

Anytime I hear about behavior modification of any kind it makes me think about mind control. If we all thought the same way then there would be no reason for dissatisfaction or fear. The U-2 song NUMB comes to mind...

Don't project
Don't connect
Protect I feel numb
Don't expect
Suggest
I feel numb
