Pretty dumb but it doesn't surprise me.

Religion is 100% made up. If you want to talk about the possible existence of a 'god' then that's a discussion that has some merit even though I think its highly unlikely.

In any event it's almost always a complete waste of time because you never get anywhere and that kind of discussion is always advanced by people who make way more fantastical claims than the assertion that there was some power/intelligence that created the universe....i.e. That that intelligence manifested itself as an obscure vagrant 2,000 years ago and let itself be crucified so as to redeem the sins left over from humans being duped by a talking snake so long as you believe these fantastical claims.

Discussions about the possible existence of some intelligence that started the universe are red herrings and the fallback who can't defend ridiculous beliefs that they only believe because they happened to be born in the United States as opposed to Saudi Arabia.
