Point of clarification: Granted M31 is the closest spiral galaxy, but the nearest galaxy to ours is the Sagittarius Dwarf, about 70,000 ly away, though a possible closer candidate would be the Canis Major Dwarf (25,000 ly) if it even exists. Next comes the Large Magellanic Cloud at around 150,000 ly, followed by the Boötes Dwarf at 197,000 ly and the Small Magellanic Cloud at 200,000 ly - all satellites of our own Galaxy. It's still a hell of a walk, whichever way you slice it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
