Try arguing -for it- and you'll probably stumble across what makes the notion seem nonsensical to you.
(I do this in my head when I disagree with someone and we get into a discussion about our disagreement)
For example, "I propose a first cause god because" - and then you draw a blank...that's one of the things you find nonsensical. You see no reason to propose such a god. On that count, btw, a first cause deist god is handled by any objection that a first cause theist god would be handled by. Most of the more amusing arguments regarding a theistic god apply just as well for deistic gods. One of my favorites is the last line of Epicuras little quip. "Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?"
