How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard

RE: How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
Quote:Why don't you guys meet up with an Atheist Logician or philosopher (professor) in university, and ask him if this is special pleading. I think you guys misunderstand special pleading. When you make an exception that is IRRELEVANT then it's special pleading. If you make an exception, and it has notable difference that shows the case doesn't apply, it's not considered special pleading.
True story, some general rules have exceptions, and the latter does not erase the general rule, but why do you think the universe needs to begin to exist and not god? Why is god exempt from beginning to exist? How do we know what needs to BEGIN to exist and what doesn't?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
