The argument from necessity.

I am an atheist playing god's advocate (just for fun). How do you reply to the argument that god has to necessarily exist since there is a need to have a necessary cause for all which is contingent in the universe for, if there was no prime, necessary cause, we would be unable to account for a reality which is contingent in its nature?

I do have a couple of replies ready, I would love to compare them to yours.
Thanks.
