Logan Paul hits back at outrage over \u201cdisrespectful\u201d Christian comments YouTube: ImpaulsiveLogan Paul has defended himself after fans expressed outrage over \u201cdisrespectful\u201d comments he made about friend and Impaulsive podcast guest George Janko and his Christian faith, saying he \u201crefuses to be steamrolled by the comments and the sentiment from last episode.\u201d Logan Paul\u2019s 206th episode of Impaulsive featuring friend and actor George Janko has come under widespread criticism, after the two got into a debate about Christian values. It came to a head with a hypothetical regarding Hitler, and the potential of killing him if he came back to life. \u201cSome guy was going back and he said \u2018do you forgive everybody\u2019 and I said \u2018absolutely 100%.\u2019 He goes \u2018Hitler comes back to life, you have a chance to kill him right now, do you kill him?\u2019 I go \u2018No\u2019,\u201d Janko explained. \u201cHitler at the end of the day was such a powerful speaker, so motivating and so strong in this situation. When I look at this man, or anybody like this man, I don\u2019t just look at his flesh \u2014 there\u2019s demons behind him, and I\u2019m not trying to cast him out, I\u2019m trying to kill the situation that\u2019s making him evil.\u201d Segment begins at 50:20. The comments were met with laughter from Logan Paul, who was taken aback by how \u201cludicrous\u201d they were. This response had the YouTuber in hot water, as many fans downvoted the video and voiced their disappointment in Paul\u2019s \u201cdisrespectful\u201d reply. \u201cLogan and Mike were extremely disrespectful,\u201d one commenter said. \u201cOne of the worst hosting I\u2019ve seen on a podcast.\u201d Logan Paul addressed the backlash on the next episode of Impaulsive, where he said the podcast was a place to debate. Paul believes that while he considers Janko a great friend, he will point out how \u201cinsane\u201d his opinion was. \u201cHe\u2019s very emotionally mature, so he comes from a place where he\u2019s like \u2018let\u2019s settle this with love\u2019 rather than try and create a gap because we believe in different things. I loved his take, and I even told him that \u2018your religious beliefs let you uphold a very sound moral compass,\u2019\u201d he said in Episode 207. Segment begins at 5:58. \u201c[It was] very noble, but telling me you\u2019d spare Hitler is ludicrous. It\u2019s a podcast. It\u2019s about hearing different sides of the conversation. Commendable, but f**king insane \u2014 so insane to me that it became laughable. [Sparing Hilter] is crazy.\u201d Paul added that the Impaulsive podcast isn\u2019t meant to cater to everybody, and he doesn\u2019t expect everyone to agree with all the points he, or his guests, make. \u201cI understand that if you are on George\u2019s side, and especially if you are a religious person, how you wanted to hear George talk and we always try to give our guests the benefit of doubt. I think there were some lines blurred between him being the guest and his opinion. \u201cThis is not the podcast where you\u2019re always going to hear the things you want to hear. I think if you listen to any podcast where that\u2019s the case, that\u2019s a miracle. That\u2019s not us. I\u2019m always going to be true to myself. If that\u2019s not good enough for you guys, no problem. \u201cI love and appreciate the feedback, I just refuse to be steamrolled by the comments and the sentiment from last episode.\u201d Segment begins at 3:27. The comments weren\u2019t well received, with more listeners pointing out that they were disappointed with Paul\u2019s attitude more than his comments. Janko also issued a statement after the episode aired, telling fans he still considers Paul a close friend, and that he wasn\u2019t offended by what happened on the podcast. The actor invited others to be more \u201copen and honest\u201d about their own beliefs, too. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to be open and honest about your opinion or your beliefs, you\u2019ve got to understand that not everybody is going to see it exactly how you are. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to have patience and understanding. Everyone is raised with a different mindset and point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
