I show that (even the best) versions of skeptical theism result in a moral, modal, and theistic skepticism that cannot be quarantined. These results are unacceptable. I conclude that skeptical theism should be abandoned. The rationality of theistic belief is nonetheless rescued, I argue, since the best evidential arguments embody significant logical (and philosophical) flaws.
