If we have a different premise which involves a god existing & sending ppl to heaven or hell, maximising wellbeing looks very different.

It may then be necessary to torture, maim, kill certain ppl to get maximum number to obey & get to heaven & avoid eternal torture.

yes, if granted the premise of heaven & hell, but i don't think harris' premise & heaven & hell premise are equally valid...
