Also, the moment you catch me foregoing pleasure in favor of a positive judgement in the afterlife, slap me.

Exactly how I feel. I never said you couldn't have complete tolerance (of course there's always intolerance of encroachment on other people's rights, etc), but what he was saying was a hypocritical statement.
As to your second statement: you don't need to forego anything to be open-minded. If I didn't have a specific type of belief about death/the afterlife, I'd just be agnostic. No formal religion, no restrictions, no strings attached.
