Ted Turner, (Robert Edward Turner III), 1938-, American television broadcasting executive; b. Cincinnati. He founded (1976) a television station, WTBS, and built it into the Turner Broadcasting System, including (1980) the Cable News Network (CNN), (1988) a movie channel, and (1992) the Cartoon Network. He also owns the Atlanta Braves baseball team and Atlanta Hawks basketball team and won the 1977 America's Cup yachting race. He married Jane Fonda in 1991 and have recently been divorced because of Jane Fonda's recent Christian Beliefs. Friends say the path of Fonda's spiritual conversion began two years ago when her chauffeur began witnessing to the actress about his faith in Jesus Christ. At first, Fonda was reportedly troubled by those conversations. Later, she began to welcome them and attend church with her chauffeur. On Tuesday, August 29 , 2000 at the so-called United Nations Millenium Peace Summit , Ted Turner, the summit's honorary chairman, described Christianity as an "intolerant" religion, and advocated a New Age concept for a "global religion." read the story @ PRNewswire. One of the most powerful media figures in the world is so vehemently anti-Christian. Mr Turner told the American Humanist Association that 'Christianity is a religion for losers'. Apparently he says that what he really meant was that Christianity is 'the religion of the down and out because Christianity says give everything to the poor, follow Christ and wear sackcloth and ashes'. He asks 'What's this burning forever in hell? For running around a little bit, or having a couple of beers? If I have to accept any kind of religion, I like the Native American Indian's concept that you're born good, nature is god and then we all go to happy hunting grounds'. You may remember September
19, 1997 when Ted Turner made a speech at a dinner held in New York by the United Nations Association
that he will donate $1 billion over the next decade to United Nations programs. Now he is
bashing the Christian faith at this so-called United Nations Millenium Peace Summit. Mr Turner is an enemy of the Christian faith. Therefore we must love him. We should pray for him - that one rich man would be able to enter the kingdom of heaven - even through the eye of a needle. May God have mercy on him and show him that the best way for him to promote world peace is when he comes to peace with God and with himself. submitted by yourgopingtohell.com
