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.

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??

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.
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?
