What about the lost tribe?

What about the lost tribe? My rhetorical answer/question to a poorly questioned question.Okay, what you mean is, was there a lost tribe of Israel (from Biblical story), and what happened to it? Some say the Ethiopians are the lost tribe, other say the Navajo, still other say it was the Tibetans, or the Persians. Does it really matter? The story might really be about how any one group eventually has sects that splinter away and are considered lost. Low is the person who denigrates other sects, let them be. Have tolerance of other religions and other denominations, because they are not out to get you.

Did Mary lose Jesus?

You are assigned to care for a patient with severe blood lost who needs blood transfusion However the patient because of her religious beliefs refuses the therapy?

Any good doctor will know that there are alternatives to blood transfusions and will use these, eg, normal saline solution, ringers. Refusing blood does not mean refusing treatment, it just means refusing one method of medicine. If a patient is allergic to penacillin they are not forced to have it, they are given an alternative. In the end, refusing blood is not the be all and end all as it is made out to be. Our bodies are made to replace lost blood, the most important thing in blood loss is replacing the lost volume.
