Apple Bans Christian App, Google and Amazon Urged to Follow Suit
The Western Journal ^ | DECEMBER 26, 2018 AT 2:04PM | KARA PENDLETON

Many would agree that if a product is “dangerous” it should be carefully monitored, or even pulled from sales entirely — but it all depends on what “dangerous” means.

According to an organization named “Truth Wins Out,” biblical teachings on homosexuality are too “dangerous” for the public marketplace of ideas.

The BBC reported Monday that Apple has heard the pleas of the group and removed an app produced by Living Hope Ministries from its app store. Google and Amazon are being encouraged by activists to follow suit.

A download of the app reveals that its contents are essentially the same as what can be found on the Texas-based ministry’s website. The ministry describes itself as a “Christian ministry focused on sexual wholeness.”

It has Bible-based teachings for various groups, including youth, men, women, and spouses.

And gay rights groups have no use for that, of course.

They are so frightened they have to stamp out the information as quickly and brutally as possible.

They are terrified of God, although they say they don’t believe in Him.

There are dozens of apps for Muslim matchmaking, marriages and families. No one suggests whether the justice warriors at Apple agree with all of the tenets of Islam before offering apps which surely explain things like how many beatings to give your wife and for what, or how to circumcise your older male son. But your Christian apps better not have anything the Apple execs disagree with.

Any promotion of homosexuality is too dangerous for the public. Period! Filthy perverted practices should be banned, for the sake of the children. Biblical teachings are just fine, and safe!

Even the demons believe. They are lying to themselves more than to anyone else.

You only need to browse You Tube comments sections on Christian videos for awhile to see there are plenty of people out there who would be happy to see the bible banned. There are also fair few so called Christians who would be quite happy to see reinterpreted Bibles on the homosexual issue.

If I were God I would have made it like divorce or polygamy - Leviticus would have read “You know, a guy boinking another guy up the butt kind of makes me throw up in my mouth a little, and it’s misusing the equipment I designed for you, but because your hearts are hard I’ll let you get by with it. Just off a pigeon and we’ll call it even”.

But I’m not and He says it’s an abomination. You cannot do homo acts and say you’re right with God unless you confess it and repent. Hiding the app is a lame way to try to avoid righteous judgment, and it won’t work. God’s Word will accomplish its purpose, with or without censorship.

Funny thing is, there’s probably thousands of people that now know about this ministry that didn’t before they tried to suppress it.

God is *very* Old School, probably moreso than most of us are comfortable with.

“Wrong side of history”??? HAHAHA. Who invented history?

I feel so much safer now that they have criminalized telling people that death dealing behavior deals death.

Just think of how dangerous telling people that doing things that spread death and disease would spread death and disease.

Thank you Googapple for making the world a safe place for death.

Android apps can be sideloaded, which is why it’s my platform of choice. Android is however you wish to use it. Apple lets you have what they choose.

Why is this a surprise? Apple's CEO is a faggot who recently proclaimed that his faggotry was the greatest gift that God has given him.

Imagine that...pretending to believe in God!
