Religious practices serve as an incentive mechanism where we accrue positive karma points for “good” decisions and actions, while “bad” choices result in a deduction or negative karma points.

In this view, the 2x2 is way too simple to describe what is actually a lifetime’s supply of choices. Each choice is a branch, and we don’t know whether we end up in heaven/hell until the very end (there is no clear threshold for “karma points”)

The image is a bit misleading, the game cannot be confined to a 2x2 my thought was a general consensus of how different religious practices have different rules and how all boils down to your choices being good or bad where it’s all predefined and gurus & spiritual leaders are our game strategists.

Yeah I’m not disagreeing – just adding how the traditional Pascal’s Wager is actually too simple based on your interpretation!

Yes I understand how the image can be misleading it was supposed to be just another thought and not related to what I was sharing but I realise I’m too dumb to even point it out in my cast, thanks for the catch!
