So says the convicted Watergate felon and co-author of the Manhattan Declaration, which calls on Christians to disobey any law granting rights to gay Americans.
"People are only allowed to think like Apple thinks they should think."

"Do people choose to be gay, or are they born that way? Here’s a tip: Don’t turn to Lady Gaga for an answer. For the Christian, thinking in terms of dichotomies such as 'nature versus nurture' and 'genetics versus free will' is the real problem. For us, it’s not either-or. Who we are cannot be reduced to any one thing. For instance, Christianity teaches that biology and the rest of creation has a great deal to teach us about how we should live. This is part of what we mean by “natural law.” An obvious example is the biological facts that lie behind the teaching that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
"But saying that biology is somehow normative is not the same thing as saying that is determinative. We are free to choose how we behave, both for good and for ill. We are not 'slaves to our biology' unless we choose to make ourselves so by believing it to be the case. To say we are is beneath our dignity as humans made in the image of God, not to mention a denial of the power of God to transform us." - Convicted felon and Manhattan Declaration author Chuck Colson, joining the Christianist attacks on Lady Gaga for saying we were "born this way."
RELATED: The fastest-selling single in iTunes history, Born This Way has already sold millions of copies worldwide and has gone to #1 in more than 30 countries. Whether you're a Gaga fan or not, you cannot deny the unprecedented impact of hundreds of millions of people singing out loud, that yes, we were born this way. Lady Gaga is pushing the movement forward in ways few could have possibly fathomed.
Convicted felon and Manhattan Declaration author Chuck Colson says about DOMA: "I'm practically beside myself over the administration's arrogance, but I'm just as perplexed by the [lack of] reaction by the church."
So says convicted Watergate felon Chuck Colson, who just won't let go of the fact that Apple won't allow his app calling for all Christians to disobey any law granting LGBT rights.
Even though the iPhone app store boasts literally hundreds of Christianity-related items, Manhattan Declaration co-author and convicted Watergate felon Chuck Colson says his group will continue to battle Steve Jobs for "censoring Christians."
If the God-fearing people of America don't all sign the Manhattan Declaration and vow to discriminate against LGBT people, the Nazis are going to take over. It's happened BEFORE, people!
