Twitter goes wild over Maraji's controversial comments on religion [Instagram/Maraji]

So here are some of the reactions on Twitter over Maraji's controversial comments on making heaven.

Not so many people planned to wake up today Monday, August 12, 2019, to expect religion as the major topic of the day on social media, until Maraji set social media on fire with her comments.

The social media comedian took to her Instagram page where she posted a message that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. She went on to dismiss other religions which have since caused an uproar on social media.

As usual, Twitter went wild over her comments and the reactions have been mixed as some people have called her out while others are indifferent and kind of support her views. So here are some of the reactions on Twitter over Maraji's comments on making heaven.

Maraji really sacrificed herself to keep Twitter and Instagram entertained on a Public Holiday? Got to respect such selflessness.

Maraji was very insensitive posting that on their festive day knowing her influence and diverse audience.

However what Maraji said is the very foundation of Christianity...like a basic tenet of the religion.

I'm not a religious person but let's not pretend please.

Maraji shared her Christian beliefs. Don't y'all use your religions to be homophobic? This is where you draw the line? Lmaooo!

Christianity teaches that only Jesus is the true way to God. If you have issues with it, now you know what religious chauvinism feels like.

As an atheist, you believe the idea of God is stupid, nobody comes for you.

As a Muslim, you believe only Muslims would go to Jannah, nobody comes for you.

Almost every religion says non-adherents will go to hell.

But the children of Ekwensu are crying over Maraji’s comments.

‘Maraji is cancelled’ but you clowns demonize worshippers of the Traditional religions

While @Maraji_ is entitled to her belief that all religions other than Christianity are false, she’s insensitive to her fans in that regard. We all believe our religion is THE answer, but there’s wisdom in knowing how to deal with a diverse society, especially as a public figure.

Most Christians believe other religions are wrong and their adherents will burn in hell.

Most Muslims believe other religions are wrong and their adherents will burn in hell.

Same with Hindus, Sikhs, Judaists etc. It is the nature of Religion. Maraji didn't say anything new

But wait o, don't Muslims have their own heaven? Why do you want to enter the Christian heaven that Maraji was referring to?

I'm kuku going to the Hindu hell, so, I'm a lost cause.

“Maraji is cancelled” but your mum has been begging you not to eat sallah meat since yesterday

PERSONS: “God does not exist, Never did, never will”. “Satan is misunderstood, God was a killer.”

This isn't just about Maraji

"Religion" has caused more problems than it has solved

Our focus is always on whose religion is right or wrong instead how to be good people.

You don't even need to be a certain religion to be a good person! Lets focus on that!

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN - JESUS AND NO OTHER. (RIGHT)
