Does our God have a God that he worships? Did his God create him and give the power to create our universe. And our little universe is just part of God's God's universe. Does God have a bible and prays to his God?

When God said he is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end, does he mean just for this universe that he created. He couldn't say that for his God's universe. So he is Alpha and Omega of our universe. And his God is Alpha and Omega of His Universe the bigger Universe

could be
maybe, for a time, he's is subleasing the universe as his own, and can make any claims of ultimate god-ness for that period.
who knows...

This is the area of theological cosmology. There are many different approaches. We can start by identifying one major branch, the Uniate faiths. These are the ones that say God = My God = the only God there is so if you don't worship my God you are worshipping the devil and I have to make you stop for your soul's sake.
Enjoy the fire, heretic.
Okay, now I have the Jews, Christians and Muslims upset. But really, the idea that YHWH = the Most High God is, imo, pretty darned arrogant. YHWH is a local mountain god whose followers esposed monolatry (YHWH is my god and Him alone do I worship), managed to conquer the "known world," and promoted the national god into the ruler of the universe. The natural consequence of that includes the Inquisition, Conquistadors, the religious wars of the Renaissance period, and other unpleasantness. If we wish to approach this logically, I would say that the consequences just mentioned are the reductio ad absurdum of the uniate faiths.
So with that, we move into the realm of polytheism, which means that we recognize that there are many gods. Some of these gods are more like godlings, entities that yhwh-worshippers identify as angels; some would call them saints.
One of the more charming aspects of gods lies in the fact that they come and go. Not many people today worship Iuppiter Optimus Maximus, but at one time, he was the #1 shiznit of the known world. The gods themselves rejoice at the Buddhadharma, because their liberation, too, lies in achieving enlightenment. Being reborn as a god is just another samsaric rebirth (though it's a really nifty rebirth, it's still subject to the rule that this, too, shall pass).
So, yes, with the exception of YHWH, I would say that the gods are aware of each other, that there is a hierarchy, and the relationship might be something like worship, although gods don't "act" the same way we humans do. The god extends indefinitely and indifferently in time. CS Lewis expressed it perfectly when he said that God is God in every moment and every place. God does not have a sense of time because God is aware of himself at every point in time and throughout its "physical" extent. The dependencies that might exist between them are, imo, beyond human ken except to the limited extent that a god manifests immanently, and even then it's pretty numinous. Father, Son, Paraclete, the theology is pretty abstruse, but so is the austere monotheism of Islam.
It's all just speculation. The question is, does it help you move forward? If so, then it is good.
Blessed be.
G.O.P delenda est.

The universe and it's creation is a mystery to everyone. So many answers but none truly absolute. We don't even know if ther IS a God, even more if HE has a God. We can only conjure up the possibilities. We might never find out in our lives on Earth. Many religions are uniform; a creator and his creation and a savior.

Well you know, in things that you can't ever see or understand (the supernatural world), anything is possible. Why? Because there is no way to find out, no evidence of it. Most of the supernatural world is created in the minds of us humans to explain what we do not know - especially in religion. Why? Because we are a species that tries to understand everything, and if we cannot find a rational way to understand something, oftentimes we resort to explaining it as supernatural. So since there is no way to test the supernatural, we also cannot ever falsify it (for we will never be able to comprehend everything in our complex universe). Therefore, the answer to your questions is YES that is possible.
Most people who believe strongly in their religion will say no, this is impossible. However, that is an extremely biased view and is not based on any reasoning.

Yes. And the God that created God has his own God. And the God who created the God who created our God has his own God. And this is where the Russians got the idea for their famous dolls.

this verse is not governed by "God"-- for if God were fear and anguish and pain.. then yes of course that would be true
do not associate w/ anyone that claims to know more than what is provable through practicing concepts aligning

That's just like putting a mirror in front of a mirror.
Think about it. If you say that God was created by 'another being', then God isn't God is it? That 'other being' is God.
Now you realize how limited the human mind is.
God is beyond any imagination.

God can not be created. God is the originator of all things so there can't be one god who created all things and another god that was created and created all ,things
(already created by the first god). This idea of god having a god makers less than no sense.
