Linux Gal: “At least one thing does not have a beginning, or if it does, it has no cause.”
Windows Guy: “Name that one thing.”
Linux Gal: “Time.”
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!”

There’s quite a bit of discussion (mainly among people who think about this more than I do) as to whether time qualifies as a ‘thing’.

Sounds like my question, "if a god made everything that exists, where was he before he made anything?"

In some timeless void?

If a void contained God, it wouldn’t be a void.

Maybe the void is God.

Because a void contains nothing and is nothing - ‘no thing’. God, being a Thing, can neither be a void or contained within a void.
You’re adorable, you are.

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