Got it. Don't disagree. But it doesn't follow that a) we should disregard all theistic philosophy or b) not use theistic language. Given that there are live possibilities that resemble theism the circle of concepts and arguments surrounding traditional, religious theism are likely to be fruitful.

Immortals with infinite mind space definitely should not ignore theistic philosophy.

It's sometimes useful to use theistic language, sometimes not. Usually when I see it when theism isn't a subject, it isn't useful.
