Quote: Do you think there's a part of a person's lifestyle that might exclude them from active participation in a religion? A few things come to mind... Can a person in a wheelchair participate in the spiral dance? Of course! You can pull some pretty tight circles in a wheel chair! rofl rofl rofl
Quote: Does a man or a woman initiate a transsexual in Wicca? This was a few-pages long discussion on the Wiccan FAQ thread and I don't think they ever really figured it out. IMO, with my limited knowledge of Wicca, I would say that it would be based on the genitalia of the person in question-to maintain the polarity.
Quote: Will a Norse deity disown a person who doesn't enjoy the odd glass? I don't think they'd disown...but the deities would probably get sick of the constant facepalms xd
Quote: Can a homophobe function well in Greek religion? I would like to see this one tested in real life rofl

Quote: Do you think there's a part of a person's lifestyle that might exclude them from active participation in a religion? Maybe, especially if there are things that go against a person's own moral or ethical codes. It's a question that comes up with Wicca quite regularly. If initiation has sexual elements, what do I do if I am married? It can be a tough decision. Or what if I don't like to do witchcraft can I still be Wiccan? No...it's base on the use of it. Again..maybe this is not the right path.
Quote: Can a person in a wheelchair participate in the spiral dance? Though I can see the difficulty in having a wheelchair in such a situation, I still think there are other ways that they could participate. If others in the circle were willing to either construct a sling of some sort to carry the other person (and obviously that person would have to be willing to be carried), then I think it could be done. To me a spiral dance is not only about the physical dance, but also a dance of the soul/spirit, so one does not necessarily need to be able to use ones legs to do that. Sometimes just to be in the midst of such energy is participation enough, even if you can't move from the spot you are in.
Quote: Does a man or a woman initiate a transsexual in Wicca? From what I've gotten from A&J, it's all about the plumbing. If you have male parts, you are male. If you have female parts, you are female.
Quote: Will a Norse deity disown a person who doesn't enjoy the odd glass? I can't really speak to much to this since I'm not too familiar with the Norse deities, but just because you don't drink doesn't mean that you couldn't keep a small bottle to use for offerings. Now if you were "on the wagon", I think the gods would understand if you couldn't. I am sure that if someone were really dedicated to that path, they could find something that was appropriate to give as an offering, and still stay within their own boundaries. If not, then maybe it isn't the path for them.
Quote: Can a homophobe function well in Greek religion? They'd either have to re-evaluate their views on things or find another religion.
