If you start to think about a god and how that might work, you are forced to make certain conclusions.
I think the starting point is creation/ first cause, and a creator god. To create, god has to be a positive force. A negative force cannot create. A god cannot be created or it is not god. So a god must be timeless. A positive, originating force has to also be good, as good entails this.
And so on.
That does nothing to demonstrate the existence of that god in the first place, though. The first cause argument has about as much evidence for it as any other creation hypothesis at the moment, in terms of having nothing even approaching conclusive, and yet you've aligned yourself with a religion rather than agnosticism, so there must be something in it that's convinced you.
Besides, why can't a god be created? The Greek pantheon is full of gods with children and all... it really just depends on which god you're subscribing to.
