Due to his rare phobia, Billy Bob refuses to stay in a room with furniture before 1950. But he's not alone - more than 250,000 people in the U.S. alone apparently suffer from a fear of antiques.

"Maybe it's a past-life thing and I got beat to death with some old chair," Thornton has said to Oprah. "I can't really know. But anyway...I'm totally serious. And I can't eat around antiques."

Praise God!
To those who repent, they do not have to fear what Mr. Bob is so afraid of.
Billy Bob proves there is a hell.

(Hebrews 2:14-15) Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil-- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
