Thats a really good point, I never stopepd to think about that.
Although the Bible says God "always was, and always will be" (Alpha & Omega).

But thats too much to wrap my little brain behind

I don't believe in spirits or astral planes or angels or star signs or fairies because they just don't make sense to me either
Fair enough. And the fact you can debate this without throwing temper tantrums tells me you're a smart atheist

I am the same way, I never, ever force my beliefs on anyone. It doesnt get you anywhere anyways.
