EXCEPT your pimp can plausibly offer you literal eternal bliss.

This whole conversation has been done before.

Yup, just like the "oh you better have chosen the right God!" I think every ten year old has that thought and figured they've got religion on the ropes.

It's probably one of those irreconcilable arguments. If a God exists etc, then yeah, you can absolutely see a system of infinite reward/punishment. If no God exists, yeah, you can easily see a system enacted to control the masses.

I know which I think is more likely but I also know that anyone completely dismissing the other side without qualification probably hasn't thought it through with a mind willing to question their own beliefs.
