It's an odd question either way. Does God need a cause? Does the Big Bang need a cause?
You assume we exist. DonHopkins effectively assumes we don't exist, so reaches an opposite conclusion
On just cause ;), cyclical explanations create a giant hamster wheel. Why the wheel at all? So I think he implies the need for a prime mover. I.e. a force outside the system that defines the system. Kinda like axioms are needed to make maths work
Just my 2p
I can ask the question, so yes, they do.
God has to have a cause because you can ask the question? To me, that logic seems rather suspect...

You assume that God is bound to the system of causality in which you exist?

I do not understand your point about his "Just Cause" pun. Other than that it can mean two things simultaneously depending on how it is interpreted.
