Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

Isn't it a logical fallacy to place god as the first cause, which would end up in the god of the gaps argument? 

People are quick to claim that. But the cosmological argument builds up an argument for God being the first cause. It does not depart from the fact that we don't know (which would be a god of the gaps argument). the GothG argument is mostly aimed against the teleological argument, and it's a counterargument, not a logical fallacy.

I can agree with there being a first cause, but I don't see the logical conclusion in it being a god responsible for the first cause out of all other possibilities. That's a non sequitur. And if you claim it to be a god, than it is a GothG argument -> argument from ignorance.  And if you go deeper into the rabbit hole you'll end up on a special pleading.
