Put shortly, it's special pleading. An arbitrary line for "must have been created" has been drawn at this god-thingy. Somehow he's exempt.
Of course it is special pleading. I however expect nothing else from theists - if they would be able to see how dumb this "argument" is there would be a pretty good chance for them not being theists in the first place.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
