How does Apple find harm in a short statement affirming a few basic Christian values, yet finds no harm in an entire Bible that says the same thing, or hundreds of perhaps more devotional Christian apps?

On my iPhone and iPad are four Bible study apps and I think six translations.

I'm not familiar with the app in question, but to intimate that Apple blocks Christian material from its App Store is plain false.

There are indeed Qu'ran apps, and Torah apps, and I've seen other religions represented too. But I am unaware of (for example) an app which spotlights all the kill-the-Jews stuff from the Qu'ran for an anti-Semitic audience. I'd trust Apple not to approve such a thing. I'd disagree with drawing a parallel to the Manhattan Declaration (which I have read) but would imagine some uninformed folks might.

No its not plain false. You should do your homework before taking sides in this dispute. Apparently, the Manhattan app was singled out by a contingent of pro-gay marriage advocates accusing the app of fostering homophobia and hate. See here:

The fact that there are many other apps with Christian content only proves Apple is inconsistent in applying its standards. The Bible is the undisputed basis for everything in the Manhattan Declaration, and therefore as a matter of equal treatment under Apple policy all Bible apps should be banned. Otherwise, there is no rational basis for the Manhattan ban. None.

Um, forgot to run "Preview." For clarity, here's what I meant:
