Isn't it funny that when atheist is asking "what caused God?", they are asking an absurd question which is "what caused the Uncaused?"? It's like asking: what have you done that you haven't?

Your god doesn't have a "manner of being" then? It sounds like you are classifying it as a non-existent entity.

What makes something exist is not the manner of being, but the act of being, for manner of being is that which limit the act of being; and the act of being is which that makes something exist. But, God Whom is Pure Act of Being shows that He is existing more than others and that nothing limits His existence, for He doesn't have any manner of being. So, it is not correct that God doesn't exist just because He doesn't have manner of being.
