Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

'''Agoraphobia''' is an [[anxiety disorder]] characterized by fear of situations in which one might be trapped and unable to get help, especially in the event of a [[panic attack]].  Agoraphobics may avoid crowds, enclosed spaces (such as elevators and buses), or large open spaces.  Like other anxiety disorders, the first line of treatment for agoraphobia is [[exposure therapy]]. In exposure therapy, the patient is exposed, either ''in vivo'' (i.e., in person) or imaginally, to the situation or object that he or she fears.  Repeated exposure allows the agoraphobic patient to learn that his or her fears are unfounded.
