Since you're not in the mood to share - I'll note that regardless of whatever the case is with causality, the status of my mothers existence is unaffected.
Yes, OFC that causality being valid doesn't imply God's existence in itself, it is however a necessary ingredient to make any attempted argument in favor of God's existence. Also, if causality weren't valid, then it's possible, a priori, for you to precede your mother's existence.........
No, it isn't. You might need the help of that borrowed ladder for your god..to insist upon your beliefs - but that doesn't have any bearing on whether or not gods exist.
Maybe it is possible for me to precede my mothers existence..but I don't need to know that yay or nay to know my mother exists or persuasively and competently argue for her existence.. So too, if there's a god..there's a god regardless of what the case with causality turns out to be and regardless of whether that god or gods had any relation to it such as the one you conceive for your own.
Causality being valid doesn't suggest or imply anything about gods..and if you want to argue for some gods..you're probably going to have pick something that does. Doesn't that make sense?
