The religion of Ted Turner, founder of CNN

The 77 yr old thinks he’s in the same class with Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Gandhi, Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Washington, Roosevelt, and Churchill.

 Turner had a troubled childhood. When his fifteen-year-old sister died of lupus disease. His father, who eventually killed himself by firing a bullet into his brain, renounced religion: “If that’s the type of God he is, I want nothing to do with him,” he said.

 Shortly thereafter, Ted himself abandoned any semblance of faith. He became a profane, hard-drinking rogue. He once told one of his wives, “My business comes first, my boat second, and you third.” During at least one of his marriages, he was a notorious womanizer.

 By the mid-80s, Turner was having serious mental problems.

In 1990, Turner said “Christianity is a religion for losers” in an atheist convention. He ridicules the idea of hell, believes nature is god. In 1989, Turner, having no biblical knowledge declared the original Ten Commandments obsolete and rewrote them. He carries his new version around in his wallet.

 Rejecting God and the biblical concept of creation, Turner argues that we have evolved from a lower form of life.

Recently, according to CP 2013 report, Ted has started to reaffirm his openness to religion.
