Ain't math wonderful.

Pascal's Wager Payoff Matrix
.	Believer	Atheist
God Exists	+infinity	-infinity
God Doesn't Exist	-1	+1
Total:	infinity-1 = Infinite Gain	1-infinity = Infinite Loss

A payoff matrix for the Pascal's Wager game makes it clear to the Atheist that his infinitely best choice is to accept the existence of God. Atheist and Believer represent different strategies the single participant can choose. Positive values represent gains, and negative ones losses. The value of -/+1 represents the time wasted/saved due to the pointlessness of spiritual activities in a Godless Universe. Subtracting or adding any finite number from or to infinity gives the result of infinity.

I didn't know that you could total the options in an either-or expression.

Zeus is going to be really pissed when he catches up with Pascal... ;)

By your own reasoning, you need to run, not walk, to the nearest mosque and get yourself saved.
