MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine president, who recently sparked outrage for calling God stupid, has courted new controversy in his largely Roman Catholic country by saying he will resign if anybody can prove that God exists.

President Rodrigo Duterte, who has had a thorny relationship with the church, questioned anew in a speech late Friday some of the basic tenets of the Catholic faith, including the concept of original sin, which he said taints even innocent infants and can only be removed through baptism in a church for a fee.

"Where is the logic of God there?" Duterte asked in a speech at the opening of a science and technology event in southern Davao city.

The 73-year-old leader said that if there's "one single witness" who can prove, perhaps with a picture or a selfie that a human was "able to talk and to see God," he will immediately resign.



Sky needs to open up and strike this murdering fricker with a lightning bolt.

Given his history, I imagine Duterte more likely to execute someone who proved God exists rather than resign.

Can he prove that God doesn't exist?

Well can he down voters?

I had dinner with a Filipino couple from Cali last month and I asked about their Prezzy. Uh oh. A 15 minute argument between the two of them ensued, lol.

Well, Duterte himself said that God is stupid. There's the proof, right? God can't be stupid if he doesn't exist. Kind of like "I don't think, therefore I am".

There is zero evidence that God does not exist.

Atheist have a blind faith and they just believe whatever they are told very ignorantly without proving it.

Well this isn't a reason to attack belief in God. Just attack the stupid beliefs of the Catholic Church they fooled their constituency into following so they could make a lot of money

Both sides have exactly the same amount of evidence, tbh... logically speaking, neither side KNOWS, without a doubt, that they are 100% right... both are positions of "faith", since we are dealing with guaranteed uncertainty
