I answered that, by saying, yes, he was, and so what? St. Thomas never claimed that the First Cause Argument/Demonstration itself proved the Christian God, though it is consistent with it. It only proves a First Cause. The Truth of the Christian God, as Belacqua also said, is supported by further arguments down the line. 

There are no arguments for Christian god down any line. Bible stories are all made up, Jesus is either completely or overwhelmingly made up, evolution and genetics showed that Adam never existed thus eradicating the purpose of Jesus to die for original sin, most of the Christian saints also never existed, prayer does not work, and so on. Now even the "first cause" can not prove him.

Face it, you have nothing.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
