Presenter Jone Nikulan56, the words at the Radio Gala speak to Finns on social media.
Nikula told Iltalehte on the pink carpet of Radiogala that he was technically dead when he was resuscitated at his workplace as a result of a heart attack. Nikula said that he did not see a “white light” at that time.
– A message to everyone who still pays church tax: divorce! There is no one and nothing waiting there! Nikula urged loudly.

Nikula’s speeches arouse discussion, for example, in the comment field of Iltalehti’s Facebook publication and in the anonymous Jodel chat application. Some Finns, especially believers, were outraged by Nikula’s words.
– Don’t separate!
– Well, God does not live in the church, of course. And if Jone didn’t see a bright light, it doesn’t prove that God doesn’t exist.
– After all, church taxes don’t buy a place in heaven, but help those in the weakest position through, for example, diaconate work. In that sense, Jone’s instructions are a bit lame.
– But if Jone was going to hell? There is no white light, but there is a glowing red light when you get far enough.
– Not everyone is saved. Sorry, Jon. For some, the spark just goes out.
– What a rare thoughtless and stupid comment he has.
– Ah, that since Jone hasn’t seen the white light, others should leave the church? Has the church ever promised a white light?
– Now it’s over, you embarrassed yourself again.

Some, on the other hand, agree and even identify with Nikula’s words
– The right decision. I left the church 26 years ago and I have no regrets.
– It’s true, there is no heaven.
– Because of the rhythm shift, I was dead for 15 seconds, with the third stroke, the tickler started the rhythm again. I can say there were no cuckolds or virgins on that trip.
– Jon is right! Each of us should leave religion and choose secular humanism. I am convinced that this way the world would be a better place.
– Awesome Jon. Fortunately, the youth these days understand how to leave.
Some social media users, on the other hand, find the presenter’s speeches mostly amusing.
– Wow, what an edge.
– Haha, it’s great. A good joke.
– I don’t know how tight your pants are on the rest of you, but I thought this was really funny. Or maybe I just have a bad sense of humor.

Nikula had a heart attack about three months ago.
Nikula recently told Iltalehti that after a heart attack, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was “sawed open” and his blocked blood vessels were bypassed. Nikula received three months of sick leave, but he returned to work already a month earlier. The reason for the early return was that Nikula felt that the work of a radio host is not very physically demanding.
– I have four pills in the morning and three in the evening. My final inspection is after May Day and then I will hear how to proceed from now on. The whole point was that I have really high cholesterol, the presenter said.
– Apparently I received effective statins and other drugs. Then they look at my values and blood pressure and others and check if my medication needs to be adjusted. But I’ll have those statins for the rest of my life, he added, referring to cholesterol medications with statins.
