Show me proof that God exists & I will resign- Philippines president
If there is anyone of you there, the noisy ones, who would say that you have been to heaven, talked to God, saw him personally, and that He exists, the God that is yours, and if He does is true, I will step down the presidency tonight, Duterte said in a freestyle speech.
I just need one witness who will say, ‘Mayor, those fools at the Church ordered me to go to heaven and talk to God. God really exists. We have a picture together and I brought a selfie, he added in Filipino.
He then hit the members of the Catholic clergy for asking for donations from churchgoers.
If you are really helping people, why do you ask money from them? he said.
Duterte has sparked public outrage in the predominantly Catholic Philippines in a speech on Friday last week, when he questioned anew the Church’s concept of original sin, which he said taints people “even if you are just a seminal thing inside the balls of your father.”
The 73-year-old leader, who was born and raised as a Catholic, maintained that he is not an atheist, adding that he believes “there’s a universal mind somewhere which controls the universe.”
