Kimani Mbugua, a Citizen TV presenter, has found himself at the center of a storm after claiming that the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church is a cult, not a religion.
According to a video posted on Facebook, Kimani revealed that he was born and raised as an Adventist and was deeply involved in the church's teachings, including the writings of Ellen White.
“I was born and raised SDA and now I know SDA is not a Church, SDA is a cult,” Kimani said in the video.
He further claimed that members of the SDA church who read most books get indoctrinated the most to the religion, and that Christians who worshipped on Sunday were better off and more enlightened than those who regard Saturday as their Sabbath day.
However, his sentiments have not been well received on social media, with many users criticizing him for his comments.
“This is so unfortunate. I sympathize with this gentleman. If you have raised an Adventist then you know prayer. We need it now more than ever. I am a Roman Catholic but it’s very irresponsible, demeaning and out of taste for Citizen’s Kimani Mbugua to call Seventh-Day Adventist a cult,” Stella A. Andagalu wrote.
Kimani's comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users defending the SDA church and criticizing Kimani's comments.
