How do you presume to know what God is made of? And whether or not he she or it is an effect? Of course you can define a system anyway you want. But what you are doing is defining the terms to win your argument, and this is not really convincing to anyone who doesn't already believe the way you do. Which you probably do not realize. No doubt you find yourself incredibly convincing and are unable to see the gross holes in your argument. That would be a problem if this actually mattered. But since it probably doesn't, carry on.

edit- you aren't going to find the holes on your own so I will help you

"If you noticed, only effects need a cause. God is not physical, and therefore does not need a cause. On the other hand the universe is, and does. "

I NOTICE that you think only effects need a cause. Why you accept that as a truism I've no idea. You presume God is not physical- I assume you haven't actually run laboratory tests on that- correct me if I'm wrong. I suspect you believe Jesus was a part of God, if you accept that than God was able to become physical- if you accept that Jesus while carnate was also part of God. How you reconcile that I do not know. No doubt you have an intricate tap dance for that, that calles for more presumed propositions. Why do things that are NOT physical not needed causes? Where did that come from? I will tell you- from the gossamer air. And how do you know the universe is physical only? More tests or more air? There are more problems, but that will do pig, that will do.
