"God is generally presented as a first cause. If the theist manages to establish the existence of God as a first cause, it's moronic to ask "who created God?" after that. There is no special pleading in this case."
Interesting claim. Can't say I've come across it before. Possibly because "it's moronic to ask---" is an ad hominem fallacy. As far as I'm aware, to claim god is pre existing/ self created is indeed special pleading. However, I might be wrong, be thrilled if you could demonstrate the truth of your claim .
