John 3:19, "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." If someone is brain damaged to the point that they can not accept Christ, they can not (IMHO) be held accountable for rejecting Him either. The same would go for those too young to understand. -- Lance A. Beckner INTERNET: lab@fibercom.com FiberCom, Inc. UUCP: ...!uunet!fibercom!lab P.O.
