    The OT was written before Jesus. The Torah contains the OT.

    Oh I know. Was saying my statement is valid because the NT isn't followed in judaism.

    As long as it has nothing blatently offensive, or any sort of violence, simply pointing out what can go wrong in a homosexual life style, there's nothing wrong with it.

    What? The thought of thinking homosexuality is wrong and needs to be cured IS blatantly offensive.

    What is there that can go wrong as a result of living a homosexual "lifestyle" that won't if you don't?

    I think Apple should be more consistent with their apps.

    Let's see if an app dedicated to curing people of Christianity would be approved...

    It's all hype. The app isn't actually called "gay cure" that's just a name the people who want it banned made up for it to make it sound more sinister and ominous, when really it's just a bulletin board for some church group.

    Marajuana is "natural" and so are black widow spiders and rattlesnakes. This whole "natural" thing is so uselessly defined it's a worthless concept.

    :( hope you get to feel better soon, nonetheless.

    This is exactly what I was going to post. Apple removed apps like Mark Fiore's (the political cartoonist, not the videographer) but now they don't extend it to this. Clearly, there's bias in their decisions, and that is the part that disgusts me.

    That isn't clear.

    Matthew 5:18-19
    Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.

    Luke 16:17
    It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.


    I would purchase this.

    I believe that would be hypocritical for anyone who defended the removal of the other app.

    And if there was an anti-Christianity app and an anti-homosexuality app and one was banned while the other remained on sale, that would also be hypocritical.

    Quick update.

    The App has been removed, which going by Apples own guidelines was the right thing to do.

    On the otherhand, Apple should cancel their censorship guidelines all together.

    This is one touchy subject. I'm Christian. Let's just get that out of the way. In my opinion, I hate homosexuality. Who wants to sleep with another hairy, fat, disgusting dude? Instead of having a beautiful woman next to you? I'm mean, that's how I think. But not every dude is fat, hairy, and disgusting. But you get my point. In my eyes, I see it as wrong and disgusting. Although I'm not one of those Christians that forces things on people. Do whatever you want. Who am I to tell someone how to live thier life? But I disapprove of it. (Please remember this is my opinion. So please, don't start trolling me about how I need to change or something. Remember, to each his own.)

    But anyway, to the question. Should they take it off? No. First Amendment says freedom of speech. And I bet there's a shitload of homosexual apps on there about how they should unite as one or something like that(not really sure). So why should Christians have to take off thiers? Hypocritical much? Apple really needs to decide to censor more efficiently or not at all.

    I think it's pretty obvious all straight men hate the thought of spooning with another man. That's not the issue. The issue is people thinking homosexuality is wrong and trying to condemn those people who are.

    No, it's not hypocritical to have an app that tells one group to unite together if they're not discriminating against any other group. On the other hand the Exodus app is obviously against homosexuals. I think you need to look up what hypocritical means because the way that you use it here is just wrong. Also it's against Apple's guidelines to have any racist/discriminatory apps, which This Anti-Homosexual app is. Thus is should have been banned and it is now.

    There's no "Anti-Heterosexual" or "Cure for Heterosexual" apps.

    Sorry, not happening. To each not their own. How is discrimination to homosexuals any different than racism or any other types of prejudice? Or are you a racist too? Try walking in their shoes. Asking gay people to like girls is equivalent to asking you to date guys. It isn't a homosexual's choice to be who they are. They just are. Gay people, as black people, can make great contributions to the world just as much as anyone. And yet, parts of society like to bring them down and in some cases, result in suicide (see: Rutgers student last year).

    I go through much effort to respect others' opinions...but anti-homosexuality is where I draw the line. Sorry. You sir, need to change.
