- <p> EIGHT IS NOT ENOUGH. It was not so long ago that Ted Turner
- found himself allied with Jerry Falwell and other Moral
- Majority leaders in protesting sex and violence on TV. Then
- something--God knows what--happened. Last year Turner's
- superstation WTBS banned all religious programming, including
- Falwell's Old-Time Gospel Hour. Now antiabortion activists,
- whom the cable mogul has publicly called "bozos," are furious
- because Turner's CNN broadcast an early National Park Service
- estimate of 60,000 supporters at the recent Washington rally,
- rather than the 500,000 claimed by pro-lifers. And, accepting
- an award as Humanist of the Year at a convention in Orlando,
- Turner, who has called Christianity a "religion for losers,"
- had some harsh words for his own upbringing, saying "Religion
- was pounded into us so much that I was saved seven or eight
- times."
