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?

The statement "Apple thinks Christian morality is harmful" is false. Apple has lot's of Christian apps. If Apple thought Christian morality was harmful, there would be no Christian apps in the App Store.

You can't make a general statement from one app that was rejected. That is a logical fallacy--a hasty generalization.

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?

For one thing, Apple does not allow pornographic apps in their store. In addition they do not allow apps that they believe would incite violence against people. You can disagree with their judgment of this one app. Do you disagree with their moral and ethical standards that pornography should not be allowed? Do you disagree with their moral and ethical standards that apps that incite violence against people should not be allowed?<.p>

Let me be clear. I am not asking if you think they made a error in classifying this one app as violating their moral and ethical standards. I am asking if you disagree with their moral and ethical standards that pornography should not be allowed, and apps that advocate violence against groups of people should not be allowed.

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 is not a political movement. It's a computer company. So it makes no sense to confuse a computer company with a leftist movement.

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.

That most definitely is not what cronyism is about. Cronyism is showing favoritism to old friends without regard to their qualifications. Apples most definitely does not practice cronyism. They hire people based on their qualifications to do the job well. That is why Apple is doing so well at selling computer and mobile devices.

Not the sort of thing I would have thought a person with your moniker would approve of. Who knew?

You are attributing qualities to me that I have never espoused. That is also a logical fallacy--the straw man fallacy. You are inaccurate.
