godtube.com

I still haven't found a job yet (I promise I'm looking), but I did find something that could potentially occupy just as much of my time...

It's called Godtube, and yes, it's real.

When I discovered the site, this was the first video that I watched:


It made me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

The crying half of me is the part that is sad that Christians are still working to create their own version of "the media", which isolates them from so many interesting ideas that they could interact with (not to mention the people behind those ideas).

So I decided to post a video.

I decided that, since Godtube is an interactive web space, my voice could have a place in it. The video is very short, and it has been very well-received. I am trying very hard to stay away from controversies (like evolution), but I'm also trying not to dilute my feelings toward Christianity.

Curtis Steven and Michael: some of the things that I say might come as a surprise. I really don't know, though, since we haven't had too many conversations about this sort of thing. Maybe after this, we can have more of them.

I posted the video yesterday, and today it's on the Featured Videos page (it's already been viewed over 500 times).



I was encouraged by the response I received, so today I posted another video... I'm a little nervous about what will happen if/when the (extended) Rogers Clan discovers my role as the "token nonbeliever." I hope, though, that they would be comfortable enough to approach me about it if/when they do.

At the very least, I think that they would pray for me, and I always appreciate people's prayers.
