If you want to talk about love and justice, fine..but you don't..you want to talk about "Allah" and the magical princes he hid in the thicket until a handsome muslim man wakes them up with a kiss or somesuch.
Same problem with this uncaused cause shit. Proving an uncaused cause is one thing, proving that that uncaused cause is necessarily God is another. And the latter is never even addressed. Notice how Aquinas merely states at the end that the uncaused cause is understood by everyone to be God. No it fucking isn't, lol. When people say "God created the universe" they are not merely saying "An uncaused cause caused the universe", lol.
They're frigging also saying that this uncasued cause has a mind and an intelligence and has a purpose for you and gives a shit about you, etc. Aquinas doesn't bother to argue for any of that. He merely labels something that isn't God as "God." I could do that with my penis. My penis exists and I understand it to be God so suck it Aquinas.
