ENI – CNN founder Ted Turner, who once called Christianity “a religion for losers,” has launched a joint initiative with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the United Methodist Church to raise US$200 million to fight malaria in Africa, which kills more than one million people each year.
Turner said he regrets anything negative he may have said about religion in the past. “Religion is one of the bright spots as far as I'm concerned, even though there are some areas, like everything else, where they've gone over the top,” Turner told the Associated Press. “But I'm sure God, wherever He is, wants to see us get along with one another and love one another.”
