PLANO, Texas (AP) -- Chris Wyatt is on a mission.

GodTube.com is a video-sharing site with Christian content that draws millions.

Walking hastily through his cavernous fourth-floor headquarters in suburban Dallas, the founder of the Christian version of YouTube is searching for an available conference room.

He quickly passes reminders of his success: a group of customer service representatives on the phone, animated meetings in progress and extra office space that GodTube.com is preparing to move into.

Finally settled, the nattily dressed former TV producer insists he is as surprised as anyone that the site was identified earlier this year by comScore as the fastest growing on the Web.

"I thought I was going to be a seminary student and then work maybe a couple hours a week," he said. "Now I'm taking online courses because I can't get over to the seminary, I'm so busy."

1. As if the world needed another outlet for sleazebag TV preachers

If it's anything like other attempts to create Christian pop culture, it's probably insufferably lame.

7. ANYTHING that is marketed *specifically* for Christians is usually unbelievably pathetic and lame
See:

*Christian "rock" music

*Christian "punk" music

*Christian "metal" music

*Christian video games--by far the worst. And most offensive. What was that game where you kill heathens if they don't convert?

8. Plano??? Texas again??? Sorry all you decent Texans, but...
there must be a provision in the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo where we can just give that sorry-assed shithole back to Mexico when they get out of hand.

Or, let the Republic of Texas types have the damn place and both Mexico and the US can build walls on its borders.
