Parable of the Nosocomephobic

A fellow blogger's post inspired the following thought...

The people of this generation excuse themselves from churchgoing because, they say, the church is full of sinners, hypocrites, and mean people. To what shall I compare them? They are like a man who refused to be taken to the hospital, even when he was dangerously ill, because hospitals are full of sick people. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
