and i have a problem with the first matrix.
- - - - - - believe dontbelieve
exists +inf -inf
doesnt x 0
x is presented as 0
i say bullshit. think of the time you wasted believing something that doesn't exist. that costs you! maybe not an infinite cost on you, but Not Zero. and +inf is also bullshit - how many times have comedians noted that so-and-so is so good she's going to heaven and you might be thinking "damn, you mean i gotta spend eternity with her? how boring!" and -inf is also bullshit - that's where all your good friends are.
so the net probability of having to spend eternity with that woman x that value - probability of no gods x cost of going to church every Sunday instead of something you'd rather do then (i dunno, touching yourself?) has to be a positive number to go with believing and right now, using the extremely large sample size we've seen so far (getting into the science of MTBF calculations, that's an application of mean time between failure analysis) it's looking like a very dark world for believers to be right.
sorry about that.
