Internet celebrity and occasional boxer Logan Paul has decided to offer up his opinion on religion, this has made a lot of people very unhappy and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Speaking on an episode of his podcast, IMPAULSIVE, the YouTuber was talking to friend George Janko when he steered the conversation towards religion and seemed determined to say his piece.
Janko is a devout Christian who has made no secret of his faith and Paul knows this about his friend.

The YouTuber and podcaster decided to take aim at religion while his show was on, challenging George about his Christian beliefs and asking whether people of other faiths would go to hell.
He said: "You all think you're right, and you think that the Muslims are going to hell, and they think that you're going to hell.
"If you believe in Christianity that's what you think. What happens to a Muslim when they die George? "They do go to heaven or hell, can a Muslim go to heaven? Can a Jewish person go to heaven?"
"Doesn't your scripture say something about if you're not subscribed to Christianity you're basically, it's a sin and you're gonna get banished."
George stood up for his beliefs, criticising Paul for 'putting words in my mouth' and said that according to the bible 'no one knows who goes to heaven or hell'.
He also said people of other faiths could go to heaven as 'through Jesus you can be saved', and asked why his friend thought he was condemning people of other faiths, telling Paul 'you always put that on me'.
Janko went on to say Paul would 'always yell at me about gay people' over Christian views on homosexuality
Paul said 'you're subscribed to the doctrine that perpetuates that information', challenging his friend and claiming 'that is a staple of your religion'.
While the YouTuber admitted he'd never seen his friend 'bash gay people' or be homophobic he accused him of being 'in the same boat with a large group of people that do'.
People weren't impressed by Logan Paul's behaviour, especially as he kept challenging George to say 'who's right' right then and there.
One person said they 'absolutely despise' what the YouTuber was saying, while a second thought Paul 'messed up big time' with the direction he took the conversation in.
Another said 'George wanted a conversation, Logan wanted an argument', while someone else opined that the internet celebrity 'acts like he's so much better than everyone'.
On the other hand, there was plenty of praise for the way George Janko handled himself, staying calm and reasonable while his personal beliefs were being challenged.
People praised him for 'speaking logically' and being 'so well spoken', while plenty thought they'd like him to have his own podcast where he could speak for longer periods without being interrupted.
