‘God’ responds to Duterte's dare

Ask and ye shall receive. Though not in the form of a selfie, "God" has responded to President Rodrigo Duterte's challenge to prove His existence. 

Parody account @TheTweetofGod replied to Duterte's dare for Christians to prove that the Almighty Father in heaven is real — preferably with a selfie — on Saturday.

"Here I am. Now go, bastard," the tweet read.

Duterte made the provocative declarations on Friday at the National Science and Technology Week, claiming that he will resign if anyone will take up his challenge.

"You do that today, one single witness, that there is a guy, a human being was able to talk and to see God. Of the so many billions na dumaan, I just need one. And if there is one, ladies and gentlemen, I will announce my resignation immediately," he said. 

The dare is preceded by his declarations that God is "stupid."
