The complete story though requires you to also view what the county's response to the couple's allegations were. Apparently, the only reason the "bizarre" questions were asked were so they could ascertain what county statute might apply to the real world problems of too many cars in the cul-de-sac and questions of access for emergency vehicles and the like. The original contact was because of a complaint by a neighbor about the number of cars.

Sounds like another case of that mysterious affliction where Christians, despite their overwhelming numbers and political clout, are persecuted severely in this country. Boy my heart bleeds for you guys. It must be so tough walking out your door and having the lions on your lawn ready to pounce.

Just maybe Tom, this isn't a case of government overreach but instead a normal function of local authority assisting in a neighborhood squabble that wouldn't occur if the pastor and his wife were a little more considerate of the people that lived around them. The only thing that brought this attention was that religion was involved. Had it been because the errant neighbor was having weekly Mary Kay seminars you wouldn't have cared.
