I can relate to Dhammachick (no disrepect to your post The Thinker, my friend)
The problem, as I see it, is holding the view that there is a creator God, like a first principle in the chain of cause and effect is considered a Wrong View in Buddhism. Hence speaking in God's defence could be seen as either Wrong View, not being a Buddhist or worse. People get upset with it.

However, I cannot see any issue with holding the idea/view of a God if you are still willing to explore options to abando that view. That I feel is reasonable in Buddhist practice, after all most of the Buddha's disciplies were Brahmins to my knowledge.
