Hypothetical For Atheists

Let's say that for the sake of argument God really does exist; and by God I mean a maximally powerful necessary being who created all of reality outside of Himself. What's more, this God is interested in His creations and wants people to freely enter into a relationship with Him.

OK. Let's say the aforementioned being exists.

And this being tells you that homosexual behavior is wrong and that sex outside of marriage is wrong, including merely thinking about having sex with women (or men) you're not married to.

Would you want to enter into a relationship with this God? How would you feel about this God's moral beliefs? Would it cause you to self-reflect upon your own moral beliefs?
