Of course it's spiritual but the couple's fear is that he is specifying the passages to them and someone will take it literally.

Someone’s irrational feelings and hypotheticals shouldn’t cause others freedom of religion to prohibited or freedom of speech to be abridged by the govt.

This couple is putting themselves out in public with their with political advocacy, and this is not about their private lives or their fear but really about their politics. Social media posts referred to in police report and court seem to have started in response to one of the lesbians as part of their group stating to city council that nothing sexual was performed by drag queens at a pride parade in front of kids which this guy counter with a video showing otherwise. Video was cut showing their statement to city council along side a drag queen acting in front of kids during parade like drag queens do.


The police report was also allegedly taken by a cop connected to this advocacy group which is another problematic part of this. Not sure if anything actually found by police outside of report.

Both sides are putting on a show, and the judge should have refrained getting involved like she did with decision. 5 years is another ridiculous part of this. Wondering what the normal time frame for restraining orders is when based on domestic situations with true fears of violence.
