Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
DALLAS, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- GodTube.com, a networking site for Christians created by a Texas seminarian, allows users to link videos to texts in the Bible.
Chris Wyatt, who launched GodTube in August, is a former TV producer as well as a student at Dallas Theological Seminary.
"Everyone has a verse that speaks to them from their heart," Wyatt told USA Today. "This way, the Bible is told from a personal point of view."
About half the videos linked to the New King James Version or the American Standard Version posted on the site are professional jobs -- some of them created to seem homey and amateurish. Others are homemade.
Someone reading Genesis could jump to a video of Geico cavemen discussing the creation. The 23rd Psalm includes video of the 4-year-old daughter of a Bluefish TV executive reciting the psalm.
Alliance Defense Fund provides a video for high school students with instructions on how to deal with homosexual activists. It is linked to the book of Leviticus, which includes the most frequently cited verse appearing to ban homosexuality.
