Hello, sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but what is an ejemplo?

I looked at the link and at the article but wanted a bit of feedback, before any other response from me.

I think one has to tread carefully on the whole subject of subjective ideas about morality and right living and allow people to figure out these things on their effects on others and themselves or their own beliefs.

To suggest that we are “honest and honourable”, unlike our service users is insufferable. It sets us up for entirely justifiable puncturing and the likelihood of it being an effective treatment method is low.

Finally, in the multicultural societies that we all work, to put ourselves forward as representative of any one religion is to exclude other believers and, most likely, atheists.

Now, as you might of all noticed, I’ve started hyperventilating, so I will have to go and exhale into my copy of Richard Dawkins.

All the best,

Bill

This is interesting (at least I think it is). I have always thought of the TC as a secular, humanist movement. Of course I have always known that many in the TC movement have a "spiritual driving force" but generally, in Europe, it seems to be a badge of personal faith and not central to the practice. In this statement by the Director of a TC in the Phillipines, God (and not "God as we conceive him" - as they say in AA/NA) is very much a p;art of the process. I've rarely seen it stated so clearly. As an atheist, I find it a little uncomfortable, but I'd be really interested in other list-members' views:
