    There is only one thing in all of reality that does not need a cause. And that thing is not the universe.

    The one thing that does not need a cause is "Cause" itself, because cause includes cause in itself. It is self-existent.

    And my friend, Cause is God.

    No, I didn't.

    It doesn't matter. I don't have to rely on Middle Eastern religion to argue for the existence of God.

    This question implies God was in some sort of 'former state'. God is absolute, eternal.

    On the contrary, there are innumerable of things we should be grateful to Him for on Earth.

    People should take responsibility for their own mess ups.

    What kind of "evidence" are we talking about?

    God does not need an explanation or cause because He is eternal, absolute and unchanging.

    So, for example, the best role model of all time (Mohammad, Muslims say) having sex with a 9-year-old child is UNCHANGING as still the best way to treat children that one has the hots for, apparently, seeing how god is unchanging. And slavery is STILL the way to go, since god approved of it many many times in the Bible/Qur'an, since he's unchanging, apparently.

    This is a false statement. There are progressive Christians just as there are conservative atheists. There is no comparison between government and religion unless it is one's intention to merge the two.
