Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the universe has a cause.'
I find this argument laughable because it's supposed to be an argument for God but the conclusion is just that the universe has a cause.
Let's agree with it and then ask what caused god to exist. Super god obviously. What caused super god to exist? Ultra god perhaps. What caused ultra god to exist? ... It's the turtles all the way down and anyone who takes this crap of an "argument" seriously is simply delusional.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
