MANILA – Phillippine President Rodrigo Duterte recently raised a massivestorm by calling God ‘stupid’. And now, he has gone a step beyond bypromising to resign ‘if anyone can prove God exists.’

Duterte has had a pricky relation with the church and had questioned whypeople around the world believe in God. After expressing his reservationsabout God’s existence, Duterte went on to challenge anyone who can provehim wrong. “Where is the logic of God there?” he was quoted as saying byAssociated Press at a science and technology event on Friday. He was alsoquoted as saying that he would resign if ‘there’s even a single witness’who can prove, with a picture or selfie that man can indeed talk to and seeGod.

Duterte has received condemnation from around the world for his claimsdoubting God but the most scathing has been the attacks from his politicalrivals. Some of them have even gone to the extent of calling him ‘stupid’.A Catholic bishop, reported local media, termed the Phillippine Presidentas a ‘psychopath.’

For Duterte though, criticism and being called names is nothing new andhardly a deterrent.
