No, that's not what he's saying. He's "speaking for God". And it makes you go, "Well, hang on! Who the hell gave you the authority to tell me what the almighty God thinks?"
He's hoping you'll take that lesson in thinking, and apply it to the preachers, the churches, the Bible, etc.

The preachers and churches don't have to 'speak for god' they just have to read the Bible where it clearly says homosexuality is wrong. No creative license or interpretations needed.

Well if they're preaching the bible and being honest about the content in biblical scripture then that's fine, not to make a silly fucking point.

I agree.
I hate it when people attempt to change religions to conform with their own views. Religion is what it is. Take it or leave it. If you're gonna change it so much, go make your own, or at least call it something else.

Depends on what "God" you're talking about.
The Bible itself falls under the concept of "don't claim to speak for God".

This sounds great at first, but used as an argument, the opposing side will say that they aren't speaking for God, because the bible is God speaking for himself. So they back you into a corner. Anyone have any idea how to get out? You can't turn the argument into a God doesn't even exist argument, because that defeats the purpose of the original point.

Well, mistranslation and cultural context issues might lead to some parts of the Bible being misinterpreted by modern audiences. Of course, "correct interpretation" will pretty much always be subjective.
Also, the Bible is a bunch of myths, hymns, poems, lessons, laws, and stories written and collated by man. Whether it claims to be the "word of God," one can't deny the influence different thinkers/scholars throughout history have had on our understanding of Biblical text.

you can't reason with your opponent in this argument, as we've seen time and again with religious fanatics. you have to bludgeon them with an undeniable short sentence. i dont know what that sentence is, so i'm thinking that this whole argument might be worthless.

To explain, Ted Alexandro is a comedian. The joke here is that he sets himself up as someone you shouldn't blindly listen to thereby making the point you shouldn't blindly listen to anybody.

the reason i love this quote so much is ppl never seem to understand this when talking about god. as if you understand the mind of god so much better than others which is exactly why youve lost your perspective on god.

If you so choose to live by the bible, live by every verse and see where you end up. Most likely in jail or dead.

What, the Bible which claims to speak for God is not touched by the concept presented?

Seen this a bunch and like it but every time I read "woo woo" it sounds like a train whistle in my head. It should say "whoa, whoa"
