Open letter to Big Brother Steve Jobs

G'day Steve,

I am disgusted to hear Apple has removed the Manhattan Declaration app from the App Store, on purported grounds of it being "offensive".

When it was initially listed, Apple's own review staff gave it a high ranking as non-offensive material.

And a review of the content of the app shows it is simply presenting ideas in a very non-threatening, inoffensive manner.

Apple supports the political rights of homosexuals, and of the abortion lobby. Why is Apple now censoring the political rights of peace-loving Christians?

Has Apple become anti-Christian?

Am I supposed to urge my friends to stop buying Apple, because it uses its funds to thwart legitimate, peaceful, inoffensive Christian activity?

Or are you going to hold to some bizarre line that presenting ideas someone disagrees with is "offensive" and should not be tolerated? If that's your idea of "offensive", then at least be consistent and remove all pro-abortion apps and pro-homosexuality apps.

I love Apple products, and have bought them in the past, but if Apple cannot explain or promptly rectify its extremely offensive anti-Christian actions, here is at least one customer they will lose for sure.

The Big Apple in the Apple State has become Big Brother.

Is that to be your legacy?

I hope not.

The choice is yours.

I await your reply so I will know what recommendations to make to my friends.

Thanks in advance,
