That gets you nowhere. All you have done is postulated a hypothetical solution (an uncaused object) and called it 'God'.
You have not ruled out the possibility that an infinite regression is invalid or simply that reality itself is the uncaused event.
I think you leap to a conclusion. The irony is that your "uncaused event" God really tells you nothing, theologically. Absolutely nothing.
Does this 'God' still exist? Dunno.
Is it sentient? Dunno.
Did it intend to cause the universe as we see it? Dunno.
Does it know about us? Dunno.
Did it intent to create us? Dunno.
What typically happens is that someone postulates God as the "uncaused event" and then immediately uses it as evidence of the Christ's resurrection.

Why is it that the same tired old bullshit arguments are presented over and over and over again?
First, a Universal LAW is announced - EVERYTHING requires a cause.
Then God is claimed as the cause of everything.
Then, an EXEMPTION to the "Universal Law" is claimed for God - he doesn't need a cause.
Which, of course, is the old familiar fallacious dodge of SPECIAL PLEADING.
First the bullshit artists give us a UNIVERSAL LAW, and then they come up with an EXEMPTION to their UNIVERSAL LAW in order to plug the huge gaping hole in their "LOGIC".
Fuck off with this horseshit. Teach it to the drooling mouthbreathers in Sunday School and the Republican party.
