I'm an Atheist Skeptic

If I go out and say, "God was the creator." you will most likely say, "Then who created God?" which is an amazing question. So lets explore it. If something created God, then something needed to create whatever created God, and something needed to create that, and something needed to create that, etc. You get an Infinite amount of creators (called an infinite regress), but you acknowledge that there is a creator of some sort.

There is no acknowledgment at all, simply the requesting of further evidence...which cannot be provided due to the ad hoc ad infinitum argument of creator creating creator. Occam's Razor cuts through this silliness, which is all your post is so far.

I think we need an FAQ page for the theists. Something for them to peruse to answer their own questions without bothering us about them. I'm so tired of reading this same stuff over and over again. You are aware, Mr. Howie, that this lovely forum has a search function, correct? With a minimal amount of time [and far less bothering of us with these impertinent strawmen] on your part all your questions could be answered easily. but let's not fool ourselves, here. You need to boost your faith by feeling like you've gone toe-to-toe with the godless heathens in a battle of wits and came out on top. Unfortunately, we're war-weary. We've been over this stuff a hundred times, and some of us many more than that. After a while, the jack-in-the-box either stops popping up or at least he isn't smiling when he does and the music isn't so whimsical as much as it sounds like the screeching of nails on a chalkboard.

So quit turning the crank. Go look for your answers on your own, if you truly want them, otherwise stop wasting our time pretending you're doing anything more than just stroking your faith.
