Zombies? Really?

Dear God,

Where did the idea for "zombies" come from? There is a zombie craze going on around the world now. The thought of the "walking dead" and the fear of these creatures eating our brains and guts is quite frightening. If people are dead, they 'can't walk around because they are DEAD. That is pretty much IT.

Your word mentions many times that people were raised from the dead. Jesus died and rose from the dead on day number 3. He was not a walking dead person when He did that. He was and IS alive. Is the Zombie way of thinking a ploy to water down or distort the entire "raised from the dead" idea?

How come no one has invented a nemesis character called a "Seibmoz" and when IT raises from the dead, it is BETTER than before and helps people out in wholesome ways that bring hope and joy?

This is all silliness of course, but it IS an idea that is floating out in this world of ours. So many ideas ARE floating around.....some, like flies, need to be mashed at times. Not saying that "zombie" stuff is one of those....oh my, NO.

Love,
Me:)

The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of
linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
