"Does this god know he was defined by this man, Aquinas?"

If you have access to a dictionary look up "omniscient". If you are serious read the Summa Theologica in which St. Thomas Aquinas stated; "That is perfect, which lacks nothing of the perfection proper to it.". If you are simply a knee-jerk anti-Catholic prefer a less Catholic source I would direct you to John Wesley, founder of Methodism, whose doctrines are largely founded on this definition.

Re: "Does this god know he was defined by this man, Aquinas?"

"If you have access to a dictionary look up "omniscient".

Is this man Aquinas omniscient, or is the god he defined omniscient?

"If you are serious read the Summa Theologica in which St. Thomas Aquinas stated; "That is perfect, which lacks nothing of the perfection proper to it."."

Is that circular and arbitrary declaration typical of what's contained in that book?

"If you are simply a knee-jerk anti-Catholic prefer a less Catholic source I would direct you to John Wesley, founder of Methodism, whose doctrines are largely founded on this definition."

What definition, the god? Why do you think I would care for, or about any doctrine, which is based on a defined god.
