When I research the quote, I can find no reference to Aquinas, only Lewis and St Augustine. Do you have a source that it is Aquinas?
Jesus Christ as God and the Trinity Was Not Invented Until the Fourth Century?

I have no fear of my choice, but it is because I no longer am a believer in eternal damnation. I think it is a construct of humans to keep others in fear, pray, pay and obey.

I read it in a Catholic Encyclopedia at the Downtown Toledo Library.

Your facetiousness is noted.
Curious, New Advent says, no results.

I'm sincere,I would rather know then not know!

It was a very old Catholic Encyclopedia probably 50 years old at least.
This is condescending. This is also the statement people like you make when people like myself do not believe as you do. You act like we don’t study. The opposite is the truth, I have studied and continue to study, my studies have just lead me to a different conclusion than you. The difference is I respect your beliefs. You seem threatened by mine.
It must be the only source because I fail to find it. It would be helpful to have the full quote.

Yes it would,but I don't live in Toledo anymore,but I will do some research on Thomas Aquinas.
I don’t expect you to care. This is anonymous forum, why would you care?

Wasn't that CS Lewis's "trilemma"?

Yes, St. Augustine also had a similar concept, but I can not find anything from Aquinas.
It’s going to have to be something other than a meme, meme attribute all kinds of sayings to people who never said them, sorry.
