That's one reason Jane Fonda and Ted divorced. She is a Christian and he is not.
Praise God, God forgives Jane Fonda... but Christians can't... how how sad.

What were you saying 7 years ago that we can attempt to boycott you for?
Did you have sex outside of marriage?
Has your behavior led anyone to roll their eyes and wonder about how great Christianity could be if you continue to act the way you do?
And we're not talking recently, since I'm certain your life has become exemplary. We're talking the better part of the last decade.
This is the forgiveness of Christianity?
No, you are representing the ugly, frightened defensiveness of Christianity.

Do a look-up for "stupid celebrity pundits" online. Yahoo search for it. It's hillarious the things that many Hollywoodians say about anything "right" leaning. Ted Turner is posted on many of this kind of website. As if the regular garden variety American gives a diddly what he says. Personally I don't watch CNN because they are not fair and balanced in their coverage.

That is only an outcry for help. The media wants money, popularity, loyalty.
The world will continue to fade away.
Pray in the face of the devil against the media and against those things. Take the authority God gave you. The best weapon you have is prayer. If you feel God is leading you to boycott them for that, do it. But the Devil's greatest tool is offense. Don't show offense, love in the face of it.

I am not opposed to gay marriage because homosexuality is evil. I am opposed to it because marriage is holy. Maybe homosexuality is not a legal issue. However, marriage is. Marriage licenses are given by the government. Biblical marriage consists of one man and one woman, and any sexual activity outside of that union is prohibited. That being said, the value of marriage is declining in our society. We've all heard about soaring divorce rates. As Christians, I think our duty is not to condemn everyone (homosexuals, drug addicts, abusive people) based on their rebellion against or failure to follow our beliefs, but to encourage the value of marriage to be restored. I'd imagine it's just as disgusting to God to see a drunk heterosexual couple that just met get married in Vegas as it is to see a homosexual couple get married. Both couples are embracing a sinful lifestyle, and both are taking the Biblical definition of marriage lightly. In order to discourage the divorce rate, Texas had started charging an extra fee for couples who want a marriage license and haven't had premarital counseling. I think this is the right idea. The separation of church and state is a good idea, but I don't think it's very practical. If we were to do that, marriage would not be a legal issue to begin with, as it is God-ordained.

Why do you bother? What does Ted Turner mean in eternity? For that matter what does Ted Turner mean to the solar system, not to mention the galaxy or cosmos. If you are a christian your friend brother) created all of these things.

Rosie O'donell, made a similar comment a while back, since she has been on The View, I think. She said something to the effect of Mainstream Christians are more dangerous than terriosts are.
We jsut need to stop giving these people the time of day. We need to just ignore them and change the channel when they are on. Write letters to the powers that be and tell them that we won't tolerate this kind of crap any longer. The constitution says that the government can't censor these kinds of moronic statements, but it doesn't say that the people can't.

If you actually think that the TV news has anything to do with life on earth, you're sadly misguided. Besides, is there any reason why Mr. Turner should not have the right to express his views?
Is your faith in Christianity so feeble that Mr. Turner's remarks threaten it?

Yes, but nix the boycott. It is pointless; remember what Jesus said about the end times? Read Matthew chapter 5, and maybe the book of Revelations.

He expresses an opinion and that provokes a boycott? Is he not allowed an opinion in the bastion of free speech that is modern America?

Woot woot presents all around! More persecution to us Christians! I love God and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
