Okay, I get it. You were referring to the "you believe" part. But the framework of my dichotomy still stands. If you intend to pursue logic toward an answer, you must choose either infinity or an uncaused cause.
The dichotomy only stands if you can demonstrate that those are the only two options which exist. If you actually had the knowledge and arguments necessary to do that, I suspect the rest would be rather academic. However, I'll bet dollars to donuts you can't demonstrate that these are the only two possibilities, so we're left with the possibility that you don't correctly know how many possibilities there are, and so any attempt relying upon there being only these two possibilities without a proof that these are the only two possibilities will ultimately be logically invalid.
Anyway, I guess I'd start with the following three questions.
What exactly is a god? Are you a god? How would I go about determining for certain that your first two answers are true?
I'd have some curiosity, but the epistemic questions would be the most important.
