Meh heard this canard so many times....
Yep, special pleading fallacy. It is a rather tired old argument. Premise 1 of the Kalam used to be that everything that exists has a cause. When it was pointed out that this therefore implies that if a god exists, then he/she/it/housecat must also have a cause, no? And thus was born the modified Kalam argument. Let the special pleading commence. What annoys is that no justification is proffered, merely excuses.
See my reply regarding Roger the Eternal Duck who is also conveniently exempt from this rule.
