What scenario would you find inappropriate? Maybe one I haven't mentioned... aside from the obvious.
Who is this question about?

Sunset beach walk can be innocent. Cuddling on couch is NEVER innocent. Candlelight dinner at a restaurant can be innocent. Two plane tickets anywhere is never innocent because you're forgetting about sleeping together, eating breakfast lunch, and dinner together, and experiencing a new site together.

How about meeting up at a hotel during their lunch break?

Morality and ethics exist independent of god, and developed because evolutionary advantages accrued to the group. There are no absolute moral laws, except in your superstitious belief system.

Then morals and ethics originated from materials like hydrogen gas, helium, planets , and an accidental explosion ! I still have my personal Pet Rock left over from the 1980's which is a good friend....have you still got yours ?!

Its going to be very worthwhile getting to know the Creator thru a personal relationship now, getting ALL your many sins forgiven freely, and living a life pleasing to him . Its your choice, but, theres no going back once you breathe your final breath..because accountability follows every person at that time. Get on Gods side while you can and forsake the lures of the world which are not good for you. I hope youll really give this some thought and realize theres an evil Source thats competing for your Soul to end up in a ever regretful Hellish experience that wont end.

I used to use women years ago...until I snapped out of it and realized Gods incredible free grace in Christ. So long. Regards.

1. Everything in the Universe is just by mindless chance which means there are no absolute moral laws encumbant on all people , everywhere , at the same time ?

or

2. There is a personal theistic Creator who gave us absolute moral laws along with a conscience which is wrong to suppress so we can get our own way ?

If there is a #3, then please list. Thanks.
#3. The Universe was created by a sub-atomic collision gone haywire - a divine accident. Same with the Earth. Same with life. Therefore, #1 is closest to what I personally believe.

Except for the part concerning morality - that is a creation of Man. Some choose to follow rules, laws and edicts; others do not. Of those who follow, some do it out of fear; some, out of a sense of obligation. Therefore, since I perceive that there is no Universal Law of Morality that applies to everyone, everywhere, and I stick that into my Universal creation theory, I am left with only myself as a guide.
