Venture Beat:

Religious-themed social networks may be among the more under-appreciated of web sites.

Today, Comscore released numbers showing GodTube, a YouTube for Christians, to be the fastest growing site on the internet in August. It grew 973 percent and ranked among the top 1000 web properties by unique visitors -- the same month it officially launched, as Mashable's Kristen Nicole points out.

GodTube lets users, preferably Christians, upload, share and comment on videos.

There's one site I'll probably never visit.

So does this mean we now need a DevilTube for balance? We already have YouPorn so how about a YouMurder? Gee there's just no end of possibilities for this concept.

For my money there's nothing more scary than a bunch of religious fanatics posting their miracles on line. I wonder if they have any old footage of Jesus walking on water? The next thing will be YouSacrifice.

Not in this country.

About the only thing in the New Testament they seem to give a rat's ass about is the Book of Revelation and how to bring it's particular brand of fanatical slaughter about.

Go Christians Go. Remember that Christians pay more attention of the NEW testament - you know, the part about LOVE, PEACE, FORGIVENESS, TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, LEAVING JUDGEMENT TO GOD. Stuff like that...

GodTube: What Would Jesus Download?

March 26, 2007 issue - What would Jesus download? One of the hottest sites on the Internet is GodTube.com, the Christian answer to YouTube. It's a goofy, fascinating window into the world of Christian youth. There's a clip of Ray Comfort, the popular evangelical preacher, demonstrating the perfection of God's creation with an actual banana. It's hard—OK, impossible—not to see it as an (unintentional?) dirty joke. Another clip sends up the hip-hop anthem "Baby Got Back": This version is called "Baby Got Bible" and contains hilarious lyrics like "Bless me, bless me and teach me about John Wesley."

GodTube is the best example of a new group of Web sites that aim to do the same things regular Web sites do, but with a Christian (or Christian conservative) point of view. Like the idea of MySpace, but hate the thought of your children as prey? Try Famster, a secure online community for families. Like Wikipedia, but chafe at what you see as its liberal bias? Try Conservapedia. All three sites are brand-new and have some kinks to work out. (There's no Conservapedia entry for Billy Graham, for example.) But no matter what your religion, you'll find that banana clip priceless.

Larry Craig Jokes

"Senator Craig now says his arrest has to be overturned because under the Constitution -- and this is true -- a senator cannot be arrested on his way to or from the Capitol if they are on official business. So apparently, he was striking a blow for freedom." --Jay Leno

"Larry Craig is having second thoughts about resigning, and well I would add he's having second thoughts about tapping his foot in the men's bathroom. ... No, he's changed his mind and he thinks he's going to stay in the Senate, and that occurred to him after he saw the new batch of fall pages." --David Letterman

"Senator Larry Craig announced he's now rethinking his decision to resign from the Senate. Craig says he's going talk the decision over with his wife, and the guy in stall number 3." --Conan O'Brien
