The thing that made the things for which there is no known maker... (religious leader, theology)

[LogicIsYourFriend]

"Every painting needs to have had a painter, and every building needs to have had a builder.
Every thing for which there is no known maker, needs to have been made.
Maybe, thousands of years ago, a conversation like this took place... and brought theism into the world. I wonder if the dogmatism came along as quickly as in THIS example?"

Dogmatism's sole purpose is to exert control and power over other people.

Theism can be benign and only try to explain what was not understood. When theology becomes dogmatic, it is to control others.

If everything has to have a maker, then who made God?

That clip's protagonist, like any religious leader, hypnotizes himself by the use of words the limitations of which he doesn't understand.
