Everything we know has had a beginning. We can speculate and go 'what if' but what if we find a moon made of cheese? So lets not speculate.
Currently everything that has had a beginning has had a cause. Whether that be you, Dawkins, the London Bridge, life itself, galaxies, stars and the universe itself have all had a cause for its existence. Perhaps in the future we will find something which doesnt have a cause for its beginning. We may also find that energy and matter can be created, but lets not speculate...
Currently, every mind we know has and is contingent upon a body; every mind we know is finite and has limited knowledge; every mind we know can only act through the medium of the body; every mind we know is incapable of telepathically knowing the thoughts of others, and sending them to an immaterial realm depending on what those thoughts are; every mind we know is incapable of answering others' wishes magically, or suspending the laws of nature.
So let's not speculate.

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.
'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain
'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
