Just because he exists doesn't mean that's what his rule is. What if God is really only the god of another denomination that says it's ok to do that?

New approach to church shopping: Um, does your god condemn masturbation? Oh. no reason, just wondering, well see ya.

Yes, I would. Why would I care where I would go in after life? I'm living this life -- not preparing for the next.

Lets say u know 100% that he is real and if u sleep with a married person(other than ur spouse), lust after a married person(other than ur spouse), and even masturbate u are damn to hell.
Now for sake of argument take the above to be a fact u are 100% sure of.
Would u still do those things?
Religion is what tells us we are damned to hell, and if god is real he is mighty pissed at religion, I promise.

You can't know "100%" if "god" is real. You cannot possibly know.

That's why this is what is called a hypothetical question.

Okay, suppose I did know that God was real... and I had a conversation with God, and he said "I don't know where they came up with that 10 commandment stuff... well, actually I do know, I'm God after all... Moses was smoking some wacky weed, started chipping away on some tablets, and humans have been following those rules for years. Listen, I created you pathetic humans. You're horny all the time. I created you that way. Know why? Because I like to watch. Yeah, that's right, I like to watch you humans getting it on. Then, along comes Moses, and bammm, he ruins half my fun."

You're pretty funny when you're not being serious. Stop being serious all the time. :D

What if God=Allah and Christians are going to hell while Islamic extremists get to bone a crapload of virgins?

Hypotheticals are useless.

Of course I would.

All I need to do is accept jesus as the lord and all my sins are forgiven.
The built-in loop holes in christianity are great.

I have news for you: If you do those things you ARE damned to hell.

But through trust and faith in Jesus you will be saved.

How about you rephrase this question so it doesn't assume that if there is a god, it is exactly as conservative christian preachers in the US describe? It's kind of ignorant to go from "there is a god" to assuming that the god would be exactly like that, IMO.

Or I guess, if you still want to ask the very pointless question about adultery, how about you rephrase it to indicate your question is more like... if god exists and is exactly as a conservative christian minister describes and not like the god in any other religion, would you still x y and z?

I'd do those things, since I'm going to hell anyways (if what you've said is a sin, that is).
