No not at all. It's a hypothetical question, just like whether or not omnipotence and omniscience are compatible, which is also asked by atheists themselves. Atheists asks a lot of hypothetical questions about a god which they already don't believe in, yet they still ask. So the question stands, and so does the answer.
Yes. However, if the answer given inspires further questions... those questions should be answered as well, if possible. That's called 'a discussion', which by the way... is what a discussion forum is for.
Nevermind. Avoidance seems to be your favorite defense, so... just keep avoiding the difficult questions. Unless you actually want to stimulate some thought... then you might want to consider... you know... doing some thinking.
And now my boss is back, so I can't post anymore until after work. Not that this was going anywhere anyway.

Well, any question can inspire any number of other questions. However there's a difference between sticking with a line of questioning and exploring it fully, and going off topic. The answer that I've offered adequately explains what the title of this thread is asking.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Not at all. You have yet to define your God. Please do so as your next post. Be specific.
Thank you.

I don't need to. This thread is very specific. The reason why god cannot by definition have a creator is due to the fact that it is selfexistent. This means that it exists of its own accord, and is not created. It also explains why Richard Dawkins' view that to create, it would have to evolve, is incorrect, due to a lack of understanding.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I love this guy. I went straight past exasperation, through the blood boiling rage that comes from syllogistic stupidity into laughter.

Prove such a thing is possible with actual evidence and facts, or retract this statement.

No I don't need to do either. I've offered an adequate, hypothetical answer, to a hypothetical question.

No, you haven't. You've offered a bullshit answer to a bullshit question.
