The question is not "who made god" but "Who made god up?"

Good question...And I think the idea of God "always being...he just is" is ridiculous. Saying he's always been seems like a cheap way of avoiding a question they can't answer. Just like the entire bible. I think God sounds like one huge myth...the most believed myth in history it would be. Imagine all these people, the writers of the bible, being asked by other people "Who are we? How did we get here? How was the land created?" And these guys are like, "These people want answers!" So they make a book, the bible, which tells about the creation of land, animals, humans, and how and why things happen. And in the bible they create God, who is the cause of everything, and to ease people about the idea of death and to gain supporters, they just tell them if you believe in God you'll go to Heaven and be with the ones you love. Eternal happiness and all you have to do is believe in this God you can't talk to or see and ask for forgivness. And then the rest seems like a bunch of stories with a few added, out of this world events, just to make people think, hey wow...there is a God! Hmmm...What does this sound like?!? Sounds like Indian mythology to me except instead of having multiple Gods, they just made one...and what we call Indian myths, they called religion. Throughout history people have made up stories about Gods that are the cause of everything...why would the Christian God be any different?

He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. God does not live in a dimension of time like we do. Einstein spent the better part of his life wrestling with this question and the better part of his life an atheist. In the end though Albert acquiesced and became a believer but he always understood time is just a dimension, it does not bind God.

Well if God were in fact omnipotent, then God made God. The idea of omnipotence includes the idea that God would be able to transcend normal time/space and cause/effect boundaries.

The Bible says the God is eternal. That is, He dwells in timelessness. Your thinking in the physical limitations of time-space. God is eternal and had no beginning and no end.
Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “ I dwell in the high and holy place,With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

He is eternal, outside of our limits of time. He has just always been. Read the book of Genesis in the Bible. God is so much more than we can ever fathom.

As humans, we have a point at which we start life, you know thinking, doing things ect. It is hard to grasp this concept, but God has always been there, its really cool when you think about it, having no beginning or end.

If god made everything, he made himself, since he's part of everything.

Haha. I love this question.
God made everything, the world, us, in order to find out that same question. I don't think he knows who he is either. We are an experiment to help him discover how he came to be.
