In a video that has ignited a firestorm of debate, the man appeared to be rooted in a deep sense of grievance toward God and attacked Ghanaians who tried to prove to him otherwise.
"I will never serve the God who came here. I will rather serve my ancestors," he said.
He described such devotion to God as an unnatural religious doctrine imposed through colonialism.
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that Paddlemore became famous for making a bold prediction that by the end of July 2025, the cedi would appreciate further to reach GH¢4.2 per US$1.
Watch the video of him making the prediction below:
Now, during a live session with his followers, Paddlemore said that anyone who believes there's a God somewhere is an idiot.
His central argument hinged on the treatment of women and natural biological processes, using menstruation as a key example.
He argued that while his ancestors understood and revered such cycles, the "foreign God" and its teachings introduced concepts that he finds demeaning.
Viewers wondered if he was talking about the moment in the Torah where the Israelite women who were on their cycle are regarded as 'unclean' by God.
