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...

I don't know about the logic of it, but I think it makes sense. Everything else has a cause, making a special exception for gods seems suspect.

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

Why would I complicate things by assuming otherwise? In any case, it seems like a small thing to ask of a diety to at least be capable of manifesting that way.

I demand it, really. Why should I put any stock in a god who can't explain (1) where they came from and (2) what endows them with any authority? It's a very low bar for entry.
