I did not address the variations, I only addressed that which he sarcastically averred: that God created himself. The fact is that this is not taught by Christianity. You know that the major religions teach that God is eternal in the past and future. So he was effectively making a caricature of the Theist position.

or claim that, "the question is a sin"

Whilst I can quite understand that some people of faith will very well be offended by the way some questions are posed and I believe they have the right to feel offended if those particular questions are aimed to provoke or mock...but really are there actually some questions that could or would be considered a “sin” independent of any malicious intentions?

Statements and questions can be considered sins but it all depends on the beliefs and tolerance of the religious person being asked.

Snthnesis believes that the essential feature of God is self cause. And he is a Christian.

^^^ God is not said to be self caused. God is not said to be caused at all.

So who is the authority on God? Some say god is self caused, while others say god has always existed and is not said to be self caused. The thing about god and other metaphysical concepts is that you can choose whatever atrributes you want and argue that your version is the right one. So let me try my hands at this.

THE GREAT LEPRECHAUN is not self caused and is he is also eternal. He is manifested in the changing forms or energy and matter.
