I was waiting to see if anyone had trypophobia. Personally I find such patterns really interesting but I can understand why people have a phobia of it. It looks like something diseased or infected. 
My phobia is being around Catholic priests - they give me the creeps. I guess you could call it sacerdosphobia.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I don't think I have a phobia. At least not one I've come across yet.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Heights are my main phobia, though my anxiety over heights isn't particularly extreme, it just makes me nervous.

When I was in Australia on the way to Irwin's zoo, we passed a mountain called "Glass Mountain". It reminded me of the structures in the Grand Canyon, shear faced straight drop from top to treeline at the base. My host Debra asked me if I wanted to go to the top, my answer was "No". But in my head I was saying, "FUCK NO!"

Is there like a threshold for phobia vs fear?
