It's also the brain not functioning!
You say that, but it's not true. A Christian who mourns the death of a child for a week and then returns to work has a functioning brain: he walks, talks, drives and pays his taxes. If I lost one of MY children, I'd go fucking postal; I'd probably want to set the whole world on fire. So who is functioning and who isn't?
