It took some convincing, but finally got it to spit this out.
"I am writing to respectfully request a religious exemption from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. My deeply held religious beliefs prohibit me from altering or interfering with my body in any way, as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." Additionally, I believe in relying on natural remedies as a way to prevent and treat illnesses, as stated in Genesis 2:8 "And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed." and 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." I understand the importance of protecting public health and the role that vaccines play in this effort, but I cannot in good conscience violate my religious principles.
Furthermore, I have moral objection to the use of vaccines that were developed using cell lines from abortion, as stated in Leviticus 18:21 "You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord." and Psalm 139:13 "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb." I would like to respectfully request a religious exemption from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine based on my deeply held religious and moral beliefs. I would be happy to discuss this further with you and provide any additional information that you may need. Thank you for your understanding and respect for my beliefs."
