Daily Caller: Apple Plays God

A Christian organization that recently had its Apple iPhone app removed from Apple's App Store has sent a letter to protest the removal, asking CEO Steve Jobs to reconsider the decision.

Late last week, Apple quietly removed the Manhattan Declaration app, which had been available since mid-October, after an online petition was circulated calling the app a "hate fest" and saying that the Manhattan Declaration pushes "hateful and divisive language." The petition, which originated on Change.org, wished to tell Apple "that supporting homophobia and efforts to restrict choice is bad business."

Released in Nov. 2009, the wordy Manhattan Declaration "speaks in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty. It issues a clarion call to Christians to adhere firmly to their convictions in these three areas," according to the declaration website.
