Any good theist ought maintain the distinction between truth and utility.

The rational basis of theology comes from those arguments, not from appeal to consequences.

I never actually espoused atheism. I only argued against belief on the basis of utility. Even theists ought reject Pascal's Wager, and instead seek the rational basis for belief.
