I agree with Alex and Rob.
If the premise everything must have a cause holds true then there can be no first cause. If you allow the first cause to not have a cause, you demolish your initial premise. For what cause do we arbitrarily designate this first cause to be the only thing that doesn't need a cause other than the fact that our finite minds need one? If we deny that this designation is arbitrary, we enter the realm of theism.
The universe doesn't stop when we sleep nor does it feel the need to contract to fit into our little craniums.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
