Well and good, but the Manhattan people have tried twice and been rejected twice, so we are reasonably sure it not just a mistake.

As you have said on this thread, "A moral system is incoherent if it is logically unsustainable. If the first premise of morals is 'do no harm,' " Apple has decided, based on their ethical and moral considerations, that the app in question could "do some harm". Therefore, being logically consistent, they have rejected the app.

Unlike the purely devotional religionists all huddled harmlessly around their sacred books, this kind of talk is inherently dangerous to the regime and its cronies.

"The regime of its cronies"? First, Apples is not a regime, it's a computer company. And second, a crony is a long lasting friend. Surely a sound moral system wouldn't be against friendship.

Therefore Apple, being of like mind, finds itself intolerant of such “extremism.” It is so deeply warped. What times we live in ...

This is making a mountain of a mole hill.

Not if you're the Manhattan Project trying to get your message out.

So it really doesn't bother you that Apple thinks Christian morality is harmful?

And what are their "ethical and moral considerations," as you call them? What harm are they supposedly preventing? Is a "moral system" obsessed with a delusional fear of traditional, rational sexual mores really logical? Define logical. I'm curious.

As for "regime," you misunderstand me. I never said Apple was a regime. I am referring to the broader leftist movement currently attempting to smother American freedom. Apple isn't the regime; it's just one of the cronies. Cronyism is not so much friendship as a kind of calculated collusion aimed at coercing the peasants to mind their place and do what they're told. Not the sort of thing I would have thought a person with your moniker would approve of. Who knew?
