Philippine President agrees, God is stupid

[someoneyouknow]

Duterte questioned in a televised speech Friday the Biblical story of man's creation and asked why God created Adam and Eve only to allow them to succumb to temptation that destroyed their purity.

"Who is this stupid God? This son of a bitch is then really stupid," said the 73-year-old leader, known for his rambling public statements. "How can you rationalize a God? Do you believe?"

Duterte lamented that Adam and Eve's sin in Christian theology resulted in all the faithful falling from divine grace. "You were not involved but now you're stained with an original sins ... What kind of a religion is that? That's what I can't accept, very stupid proposition," he said.

Needless to say, rather than give answers to the obvious questions, the Church and its followers attacked Duerte. Why? Because they can't give one logical reason why his questions and concerns aren't valid.

His questions are valid. Voicing them in a Catholic country doesn't seem to be too smart.

Why? If the people are firm in their convictions there shouldn't be an issue. Or are you suggesting he might be killed by the religion of peace?

I don't understand why you ask why. Everyone wants their leaders to be firm in the "everyone's" convictions too. Doesn't just reading in on this discussion board tell you that? Have you ever lived in a one-religion based country and seen how they react to anyone not espousing that religion? I have.
