Zombies really do exist!

So I was reading a book on addictions and then that TV series Walking Dead came on.

It suddenly occurred to me that in the modern and real world we do have such things as zombies.

We call them drug addicts. Or even alcoholics. Like the skid row homeless type.

Are those wretched souls not zombies?

What is your opinion on this?

There are a lot of brain dead people on the left, so yes, they do exist.

well I think there are what you call "brain dead" people on both sides of the Political Spectrum. but your answer is not on the track I asked about. if you want to wax political start your own column, please. and answer my question here is you want to stay.

There are multiple ways to rationalize that zombies exist...

-drug addicts

-zombie powder (Haiti) created zombies (slows metabolism until mistaken for death)

-ideological fanatics

-Jesus Christ (allegedly)

But until modern people are witnessed actually rising from biological death then it really isn't the same thing as depicted in popular science fiction. Plus the flesh eating factor is missing, which zombies don't technically have to do but it makes the whole thing a lot creepier and more deadly to the surrounding public.

I never thought of the Jesus Christ angle, I admit. And I'm a Christian too! interesting choice.

He did supposably walk around and show himself to some people after rising from the dead so I guess in that respect he fits the zombie criteria. but I never really believed those stories. I just can't see my Lord and Savior offering his flank to a doubter and saying "hey see here, I really was pierced for your transgressions. stick your hand in my wound and see!"

but I don't think ideological fanatics qualify. they are not really the walking dead. like somebody who only livs to get their next drug fix or shot of alcohol.

Fair enough. That was kind of a brain death joke but you're right, it's really not the same.

You just denounce the Lord's resurrection, you are not a Christian, you are not saved, your a fake.......go back to your ungodly Christian Rock band and sing about evolution.

Yes fun fact one time I went in my basement and accidentally made a zombie with my arms. You might ask how this is possible and I'll tell you. Remember to never forget. Thanks!

Jesus said "let the dead bury their dead". Anybody who does not have the Spirit of God in them, Jesus Christ Himself as their life from God, is dead in their sins, walking talking dead people......zombies. If you are a Christian, you should get your views and expressions in line with the Bible and look at people and things the way God does as revealed to all who will know Him by His word.

I'll give you a little credit for dumping that anti-Christian avatar you had. I'm thinking maybe you really are born again, but you sure are a baby Christian and need some good solid Bible doctrine to grow in grace and in knowledge of the Lord. Most of the people here are zombies, walking talking dead people, dead in their trespasses and sins like we were before we were saved and brought to life by the resurrecting power of the Savior.

You are trying to run the race to the finish line where we will be forever changed to be like Jesus when we see Him face to face, but if you don't stand strong on solid Bible doctrine you are going to burn out and/or fall into sin. I've been there, had some good teachers as a young Christian and then was misled by "open minded" Christians who didn't really much care what the Bible says when in reality the Bible applies specifically to everything we do, say, think, or imagine and everywhere we go, past, present and future. If you go by compromised worldly standards of being a Christian instead of standing firm on the Word of God, you'll be pulled down in sin and disgrace. God will let you learn the hard way.

I'll leave this post, since I put it here before I saw that you denounced the Lord's resurrection calling it an unbelievable story comparing Him to a zombie. You are not a Christian, you're a fake.

No wonder you hate me.

Oh I dont hate you,Saint. I just disagree with your theology and your understanding of how Salvation works and what defines being saved. I also don't like your attitude of you having the inside track on whom among us is going to Heaven and whom to Hell. We both know that nobody here on Earth has any idea about that.

when I debate some of your arguments like for proof of Jesus being divine or physically resurrected or archaeological findings proving Bible stories, I do it not to mock the Bible, which I love and read daily, but to play Devil's Advocate. Practice for when I am a minister and come up against these questions. You should understand this.

for example, If you want to play the role of an atheist and throw a question at me, for me to defend the Lord or the Bible, go ahead and I can show you what I mean.

GodBless.
