| With the right marketing you can get a lot of money from religious organizations (including churches, evangelists, even just believers).
$30M is high, but not overly suprising.

Not being funny but think they are treading a very fine line.
They are using same colours, gray, black and red, also they even say 'Broadcast God' instead of 'Broadcast Yourself' ! 
If i was youtube i would be unhappy | |

| This is what bothers me about some "organized religions"...
They can justify spending $30 million on something like this when that money could actually be used to help people that are oppressed, sick, starving, etc...

| Imagine the bad publicity google would get for taking down a "God" related site...I think they are taking full advantage of this fact and if it was anything else they would be deluged with C&D notices by now..just my wooden nickel. 
What about Godbay dot com....I wonder if ebay would mind
