If there is a creator, so what?

Is that why you were stalling, lol?  Let it all hang out, man.  That;s the question that was askd.  I doubt it's going to be any better received in this thread, and certainly not on account of your having attempted to camouflage it........ [1]

I'm not sure what you're asking me....ofc theres a relationship between thomas acount of god (in both senses) and mans last end (again in thomas acount of it).  If there weren't he'd just be spouting off incoherent gibberish.  Are you asking me whether or not I would agree with the notions, granting that the christian god existed? [2] Obviously not.  Quite the reverse, actually.  Goodness can't come from the god of vicarious redemption.  Only favors and exceptions to the good flow from that god.  It is only in denying it's offer that I can satisfy the good, and live that sort of imperfect happiness in this imperfect life that St. T was always babbling about.

1) HA! Ok great. Here is why god and its relation to you is significant: God is what everyone wants, and god is the reason for which everyone acts. Obtaining goodness-itself known as goodness-itself, desired as goodness-itself for the reason that it is goodness-itself through the means of your existential relation to goodness-itself is what everyone is trying to do when they do anything. So knowing in what goodness consists, and desiring it as the known goodness-itself, and obtaining that goodness-itself through human action is the ultimate reason humans do anything at all. God is what you want to know and obtain.

Ya, I'm guessing everyone shares that anthropology, right? That should be clear as day to everyone in western culture...

2) No. I asked because you seemed to imply no relationship at all between god-as-being, participated being, human action, and the reason for which human acts are made. If that is a poor perception, then I am glad to have cleared it up.

3) Right. So the nature of the relation between the hypothetical god-of-vicarious-redemption and yourself was meaningful for you, especially how it would determine your living a happy life. You cared about it because how you would act according to that hypothetical relation (i.e. denying its offer of redemption) would directly translate to how happy your life would be. Not exactly a meaningless thing to consider. The more you know about it, the more you care about it (especially in determining your response to it). Of course, if it doesn't exist at all, then there is nothing to care about.
