You are confusing the Aquinas's 3W (Necessary Being) with his 4W (Degrees of Perfection). And if you mean the trap of inescapable logic that exposes the underlying irrationality of atheism then you are correct.
You really want to get into the underlying irrationality of people's positions, Christian? Care to tell us how you rationally determined that your favorite character "really" came back from the dead?
Oh, wait . . . sorry. I forgot how you don't like to discuss 'special revelation' with people who don't already buy into it -- you know, rational belief that it is.
