“Overall what can be determined from Thomas Aquinas’s five ways and three articles about the existence of God is that an entity which can be called God exists. This entity is the motion, action, cause, and origin of everything in the universe. God is the greatest thing conceivable. God was the original thing in existence and the nature and creator of all things. God is nature and God is truth. All of these properties of God can be logically determined and known from Aquinas’s arguments. But Aquinas’s notions of God as a force of good and as an intelligent being are unfounded. Aquinas calls the entity which he describes God, and God must therefore be referred to with masculine pronouns as a mere matter of convention. Nothing indicates that this entity has gender or is personified in any way. And there is no true evidence, in the writings of Aquinas or otherwise, that this entity which Aquinas calls God is an intelligent being who is aligned with the side of good and who is capable of conscious action upon the universe. These are conclusions which Aquinas leaps to by matter of religious convention. The characteristics of God as an entity can only known from what is deduced through reasoned argument.”
