Let's start with a new old topic
Pascal's Wager
I"ll put the statement which I'm trying to prove first
Atheism is a very weak position to take, (Anything is better than nothing)
P(G) is the probability of God existence (which is >0 unless you can prove that God doesn't exist)
V the value of your life
P(V) the probability of your death
P(G)/(P(V)xV) will go to infinity as your life is coming to an end
But as you don't know when are you going to die, you should embrace a religion NOW!
And what exactly is that ridiculous mathematical expression supposed to signify? A constant? A variable?
By the way, P(V) - which you define as the probability of your death, is always 1. You are going to die. No two ways about it. Therefore, your expression reduces to P(G)/V which means - nothing. It signifies nothing and gives me no reason to embrace religion at all.
