I used to be scared of clowns, now I'm over it. I want to see this movie in the weirdest way:

I run at the face of pickles.
No I don't. I think they are disgusting, but I don't run. Maybe just throw up.

I have an irrational fear of clowns and anything doll form. Anything that is out of the norms of height for something of its form to be moving (or not moving), scares the bejesus outta me. Growing up my grandparents had a little access door to below their house that I was of terrified little people comimg out of to get me from, and I always threw my decoratory stuffed animals and dogs in a pile or flipped the backwards so they were never looking at me while I slept. As a believer I had reoccurring terror nightmares about possessed objects, and now I am atheist I.can happily say that particular fear is removed. But I still hate clowns and dolls. Thank that movie House of 1000 corpses for the clown one.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Any phobia can be harmful for you, you don't even comfortable with this. I have water phobia i can't swim because of this actually all this is just the matter of mind if you prepared your mind strongly so you can overcome this.
Count Your Blessings.

I have had a life long phobia of puking. I haven't tossed my cookies since I was 13. That was 32 years ago.

I think you meant to say 'clowns' but yea good point!

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

I am affraid of hights.

I start crying like a little baby when at 10 meters hight without a railing to hold on to. At 20 meters I panic. And usualy even if their is a railing before a deep dreaded hole to fall down into, you see me avoiding it.

“No clowns were funny. That was the whole purpose of a clown. People laughed at clowns, but only out of nervousness. The point of clowns was that, after watching them, anything else that happened seemed enjoyable”
