GODTUBE.COM!

So where are all of the Christians of the interwebs going? If they aren't doing so hot on facebook, blogging sites, or threads such as Reddit and 4chan, what domains can they freely walk?

Well, for starters, there's godtube.com.



This is a really interesting website. It's essentially youtube, but approved by the faith. Here's their 'about us' :

"Godtube.com is a video sharing platform offering online Christian videos with faith-based, family friendly content. Popular video sections on Godtube include; Christian bands and singers in Christian music videos, Christian comedians and comedy skits, spoofs and parodies in funny videos, cute videos featuring kids and animals, sports videos, Christian news videos and inspirational videos. Be inspired in your walk with Jesus Christ and grow in your knowledge of the Bible with videos highlighting inspirational messages and verses."

I'm betting that you'll be hard-pressed to find a video with cursing, let alone the sort of content you can find on youtube if you dig around enough. I browsed the 'cute videos' section and found some pretty standard viral videos, including that baby who wakes up and immediately starts dancing when "Gangnam Style" comes on the radio. Less standard picks include little kids singing hymns and talking about their love for Jesus.

I also read about Conservapedia (like a Wiki page for conservative Christians) but I got a really scary pop-up from my WOT telling me to beware. I'm guessing a group of trolls probably rate-bombed the site, but you can never be too careful. Maybe some other day I'll feel brave enough to peruse...
