Furthermore, it is self-evident that truth exists, for whoever denies the existence of truth simultaneously concedes its existence. If truth does not exist, then it is true that truth does not exist; yet if something is true, then truth exists. God, however, is truth itself. "I am the way, the truth and the life" (Jn. 14:6). Therefore God's existence is self-evident.
This quashes relativism in a paragraph. If one says, as relativists do, “there is no truth,” one is immediately contradicting oneself—for the claim that there is no truth must itself be untrue.
Therefore, with certainty, truth exists. If we define God as truth, it follows that God necessarily exists.

This arguement is even more obviously nonsensical than the last. Again, when he says "denies the truth" he is already arrogantly assuming that God is real. He has not gone to the trouble of proving his "truth" in the first place.
I could say the exact same thing, that it is YOU who are denying the truth about God, so God does not exist. However, I would never use such a weak arguement.
You have to be quite brainwashed to miss all this.
Jeff, you just aren't grasping the arguments in these proofs. Your objections miss the point by a mile. You seem to be out of your depth.
That's big talk. Go ahead enlighten me. Clearly Aquinas is asserting God is the "truth" as a premise, something he does not prove in the first place.
