Who created god?

Truth is a concept, not a sentient being.

And it would obviously be the height of ridiculousness to suggest that flawed, ignorant, weak, mortal men can "just exist" but "God" (and everything that noun implies) cannot.
That actually sounds a lot like an argument I have used against god...in reverse. Would it not be the height of ridiculousness to suggest that flawed mortal men cannot "just exist" but "God" can? I mean, would you expect disorganized atoms (that eventually, through understood processes came to form the universe as we know it today) to be unable to exist without a creator, but a being of infinite power can?

One could try to say that because he has infinite power, he doesn't need a creator, but one would have to presuppose his existence in order for him to have any known properties. You are in effect saying that he is responsible for his own existence, which is logically impossible.
