Will pre-marital sex send me to hell?

apparently, but you definitely won't be alone

A second popular argument reasons that everyone is doing it. First, we must categorically emphasize that this is not a true statement. A recent study (1991) of college freshmen shows that "about two- thirds of men (66.3 percent) and slightly more than one-third of the women (37.9 percent) support the idea of sex between people who have known each other only for a short time."(3) As sobering as such statistics may be, they obviously indicate that not everyone is sexually active. http://www.probe.org/site/c.fdKEIMNsEoG/b.4218319/k.61C0/Why_Wait_Till_Marriage.htm

Further, statistics do not establish moral values. Is something right because it happens frequently or because many people believe it? A primitive tribe may have a 100 percent majority consensus that cannibalism is right! Does that make it right? A majority can be wrong. If a society sets the standards, those standards are subject to change with the whim and will of the majority. In one generation slavery may be right and abortion wrong, as in early nineteenth-century America; but in another generation, abortion is in and slavery is out, as today.
