Why is it that the universe has to have something before it, but not their sky-daddy?
Because creation implies intent, which requires intelligence (or at least awareness). See, humans make things all the time, so to such a religious mindset things that humans didn't make - trees, birds, stars etc - yet clearly exist must have been made by 'someone' more powerful than we are. Based on 'might makes right', they then fall on their knees and shackle their intellect and morality to the worship of it. Which would be understandable, if such an entity was shown even to be probable or even necessary.

Blame Fred Hoyle for inadvertently popularising a term intended to ridicule the science.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
