Choosing to trust in God and submit to God leads to winning.

Sometimes.

And sometimes you pick the wrong god.

And sometimes you get burned at the stake as a heretic, anyway.

By "path to the rationality of faith in God", I meant "an argument you can make for the rationality of faith in God".

I'm not saying that's a slam dunk or anything, but I can see a plausible argument for it.

Yes, sometimes yes, and sometimes no. A convincing argument would not require a guaranteed road to winning.
