There is further information demonstrating this is definitely part of the marginalization war. See here:

The fact they singled out the Manhattan app only means they see it as either a bigger threat or an easier target than the Bible as a whole, or apps that are more devotional than political. You’re sharp with the iPhone apps library. Can you point to any other “Bible app” that directly calls on modern Christians and other people of faith to resist the left’s push for gay normalization? I wait with bated breath ....

Or, you know, it could just mean that it failed the process in some manner, which dozens of apps fail every single week.

This is Apple under Steve Jobs. If they had something against Christian-related Apps, they would just purge them or stop accepting them in the App Store. Apple doesn't mess around and draw this kind of stuff out.

There is nothing sharp about it - go look at AppShopper.com and do a search on 'Christian' or 'Bible' and you'll see. Unfortunately AppShopper limits the results to the first 1,000 apps so I'm not sure how many there actually are of either. Using some Google tools, it looks like there are 5,000 plus in regards to 'Bible' which wouldn't surprise me, since a lot of developers are just taking free texts of the Bibles and slapping them within a framework and throwing them up on the App Store.

I'm sure you are a nice guy, but I'm not going to waste my time sorting through thousands of apps just to find one that meets your needs. I have a half a dozen or so Bible and Christian-related apps, but they are for studying the Bible. If I want to talk to people or read about resisting gay normalization, I'll hop on FR. FR displays really well on Safari on my iPhone, and I'm glad that Jim Robinson has kept such a streamlined format for FR. I don't see a point in such an app because the content of said app would be constantly changing every day, and you're better off browsing FR.

If you think that Apple is anti-Christian, then great, but as I said, if you go down that road of not using products because they are made by companies you disagree with, then you might as well stop using computers in general, because at some point either the computers or their components that you come into contact with are assembled by Godless atheists, and some of the money you pay for computers or their components end up in the pockets or governments of said Godless atheists.

I'm not trying to trivialize your views either, it's just that if you go down the road of avoiding products from one company because you don't think they are Christian enough, then you might as well stop using all computers as well as the internet. You'd have to go back to the 1980s to find a computer that was completely assembled in the US with US-made components, and it still wouldn't be 100% Christian-made and Christian-supported.

Don't even get me started on software. You won't find an OS or browser that is programmed by 100% Christians here in the US. Plenty of atheists, Indians, Chinese, and others contribute to development of any major software project these days.
