Windows Guy: “Ha ha ha, you believe time created itself!”

Linux Gal: “No, I hold that either no moment exists without a prior moment, or if there is a moment with no prior moment, then there existed no moment during which the first moment could have been created.”

Windows Guy:  "Lmao! So time created itself? Bwhahahah! If the bible said time was eternal you would literally scream it had a beginning! Anything but God right? What is sick is that you rather believe in the IMPOSSIBLE than to believe in God! What a sick individual!"

Linux Gal: “Does God have a beginning?”

Windows Guy: “Of course not!”

Linux Gal:

Neither of these characters has read Augustine's discussion of time.

And both are better because of it.

Oh, I forgot, Augustine transcended his total ignorance with the simple expedient of total bullshit.

Drop some more names, bel, we are not sufficiently in awe of your make believe erudition yet.

You’re adorable, you are.

Well God might not be a thing, it could just be a force, like a force of nature.

A force is a thing.  You’re not going to re-define your way out of this one.

In some timeless void?

But who made the void??

It's such an obvious question, you almost think that someone would have answered it in the late fourth century in an extremely famous book.

Do you suppose that in the sixteen centuries since Confessions, it is at all possible that human beings have learned just a little more about the nature of time?
