Gay groups: Google Plus, iTunes must censor Christian smartphone app to cure homosexuality

Image
Homosexual lobby groups are outraged at Google for having an app that claims to be able to cure unwanted same-sex attraction in 60 days , available at its Google Play online store. The self-help app is from the organization called Setting Captives Free , which produces a series of interactive courses that deal with addictive behaviors including sexual impurity, overeating, substance abuse, gambling, and smoking. The group claims to have helped over half-a-million people overcome unwanted habits. The contentious app is called Door of Hope. "You have arrived at the Door of Hope, the 60-day interactive course that will teach you to enjoy a newfound relationship with the Lord and how to find freedom from homosexuality. It is possible, and you can learn how," the brief description of the app states. PinkNews reported that a homosexual group calling itself Gaylesta (The LGBTQ Psychotherapist Association of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area ) sent a statement to Google co...

Facebook, Google, social media sites ‘actively’ censor Christian content: study

Image
Image via CrunchBase A new study has found that Google and other major social media sites such as Facebook have “actively” censored Christian and conservative viewpoints. The first report , conducted by  National Religious Broadcasters  (NRB) and the  American Center for Law and Justice , examined the policies and practices of several major Internet-interactive “new media” communications platforms and service providers, including Apple and its iTunes App Store , Facebook, Google, and others. Many of the top social media sites have been found to be "actively" censoring Christian viewpoints. The study found that some of the new media technology companies have outright banned Christian content, and that all social media sites, except Twitter, have speech policies more restrictive than the free speech rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. According to the study, seven of the major social media sites have banned “hate speech,” a term that the study authors point out “...

Apple bows to Homosexual Change.org lies and distortions

Image via Wikipedia Author: Chuck Colson . The greatest threat to religious liberty and free speech in the United States is on the attack again. I’m not talking about Islamic extremism or the New Atheists.  No, as dangerous as these anti-Christian ideologies are to our freedoms, they take a back seat right now to the ruthless, methodical attacks by gay-rights groups on anyone who disagrees with them. Let me explain. Last year, you’ll recall that we created an iPhone app for the Manhattan Declaration . The app would allow users to read, sign, and share the Manhattan Declaration and its defense of human life, traditional marriage, and religious freedom.  Apple said the app was “free from objectionable material.” But when a group that supports so-called “gay marriage” protested that the Declaration promoted “hate” and “homophobia” and was “anti-gay,” (which it wasn’t), Apple removed the app from its iPhone store. Since then I’ve been warning you that the Manhattan Decl...

President of Exodus International Alan Chambers *  tweeted , "It's official, the @ExodusInl App is no longer in the @ AppStore .  Incredibly disappointing.
