So can god end his own existence?

Of course I fault him, but I fault all of antiquity worldwide because our species back then DID NOT have modern science. Yea he said a lot of shit people liked and found popular, but he was still ignorant.

That may be the most monumentally stupid thing you've ever said.  You fault the ancient Assyrians for not having rocket ships, or the Xia dynasty for not having fax machines?


And actually, Aquinas wasn't popular among the clergy until some two and a half centuries after his death - he was even caught up in the Condemnation of 1277 (the laity didn't even know what he'd written until a good deal later).


You might want to look things up before you go flinging the word 'ignorant' about.

Neither did the Ancient Egyptians what is your point?

Maybe you should watch the ENTIRE COSMOS series with Neil to understand what I am getting at. Our species ability to make discoveries is in our evolution, not our labels. EVERYONE in antiquity by comparison was IGNORANT. There is no polite way to put it.

Aquinas was ignorant. So was Plato so were the ancient Hindus and Chinese. Nobody back then had CERN or knew what the Higgs Boson particle was. Nobody knew back then what we know now. And some ideas back then still poison human thought today. Aquinas is one of those idiots. 

Even Hitchens pointed this out about the entirety of worldwide antiquity. That was then, this is now. I am not treating Aquinas any differently. And why are you so stuck on defending that particular individual? There are lots of bad ideas humans concocted back then that are still believed and peddled today.
