If everything/everyone needs a creator because we humans are too complex for any other answer, who, or what created God?
If he is real, then he would be a million times more complex, would he not?
Nobody with faith wants to believe that we came to be any other way, but then the same belief must be held true for him, right?

I have asked this before and received a variety of stupid answers.
Here's my favorite: God did not need a creator because he is a spirit and spirits are eternal.
Christians claim that we have spirits, yet somehow we are not eternal. It is a contradiction.... one of many within christian logic.

I think that is flawed (and unoriginal) logic. I can give you an answer based on quantum mechanics and calculus. If there is a God then as you say he must be "a million times more complex". More accurately and by definition, God would be infinitely complex. In theory then the only one who could create God would be himself, as only an infinitely complex entity could create an infinitely complex entity. Which means, hypothetically, that if God were already in existence, He would be able to create himself. This is where quantum principles come in: since the end result is stable and possible, as once he is in existence his existence is explainable, it could actually occur. In this model, God would have spontaneously popped into existence as he created himself. Just throwing some logic your way.
Let me ask you this: You would agree that there is matter/energy in the world. There is a physical law called the conservation of energy which says energy cannot be destroyed or created (except from matter, which is a form of energy) only converted. Where then did matter/energy come from? It seems no matter how you slice it, you need to accept some form of original existence, be it a God or the constant existence of energy.

The writer wanting a writer does no longer make the 1st one the writer, however the advent, so your good judgment is incorrect...its like asserting, can a father be a mom ? No. via fact the very definition of a father is that he isn't any longer a mom, so what sort of stupidity is this ? writer wanting writer ! lol ...and creators going returned to infitinty is an impossibility because it could take us an infitinte volume of time for us to get right here...and because we are right here, it skill the approach all started someplace.... additionally, there being better than one writer could bring about chaos...2 proper beings doing the different factor....what could take place ? good judgment and reason say there's a writer and basically one. this is God/Allaah. compliment be to Him.

God has always been- He is GOD! He is the beginning and the end. There must be a beginning, right? If you were to ask this question and actually get an answer other than God has always been, then you would have to ask who created that being, and then who created that being, and so on....until you passed out from exhaustion.

Yes, a question everyone wonders. Well just have to ask Him one day. When you are a Christian, you have faith that He has always been and always will be. Time for example, He created it. Our minds can't fathom this, but He has just always been. Time is one of His' creations, He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end. Just keep in mind that we are very limited in thought and God is all-knowing. All we need to know is that He loves us beyond compare and saved us from sin, so that one day, one sweet day, we will be able to spend forever with Him. God Bless.

The biggest fallacy of this argument is that complexity implies design, it doesn't. Randomness can certainly become infinitely complex

Perhaps God had beginnings unbeknowst to our mortal way of thinking. Perhaps it will all be explained when we met him face to face after death.

That is where they leave the path of pseudologic, turn around, and say "god was always there". Its so lame.
