A simple little Holy Water should fix up a Zombie in no time! Just be sure to use Curaga on your character right away after you use it!

Damn. On the first try too. Perhaps I'll start a thread about that when I finish my day.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for many of his devotees.

Okay, this kind of talk has been going on a lot, and I think it's time someone put a stop to it: JESUS IS NOT A ZOMBIE. Zombies are reanimated corpses, brought to life with potions and magic and made to serve their masters as superstrength slaves. Jesus is not one of those. Anyone who bothers reading Scriptures at all would find it explained quite clearly. Jesus is a vampire.

[Golugan]

Jesus is a vampire.

Vampires are bound to the soil of their graves, must feed on human blood, combust in the sunlight, and I'm sure there are a few more reasons your theory is flawed that would require I actually look for a Bible and open it up to find.

Well of course you wouldn't find it in your Bible: the Church destroyed all the books that told truth in 545, so that they could justify squelching the vampire uprising.

So that's what prevented the second coming! The genocide of the vampires took out Jesus!

[Snow Lily]

Okay, here's mine:

Christian (dunno which flavour) -> Agnostic -> Shinto

And fyi: I'm 100% european, so yeah...

First to say Shinto, btw.

Now you know. I'd be careful if I were, you'll probably be attacked by albino monks, or something even scarier.

Ah, but only according to your elitist interpretation of vampires.

But not the first to follow an animist tradition!! Woot! I'm not the only one anymore!

[PaavoNurmi]

I personally am a devout Christian and proud of it.

I'm a Mahayana Buddhist (Chan), but I also have animist sympathies. So that makes, like, 2.5-3 of us.

I was looking at Zen Buddhism last semester, but the problem is that the nearest place to me is either in the Catskills or in New York City - prohibitively far away.

We're taking over! Ha! The Christians and atheists are going to have to invent some new arguments now.

[Golugan]

Christians I can understand, but why atheists? Last I checked, we weren't shoving each others' beliefs down each others' throats.

Let me answer that question by posing another: Why NOT atheists?


I was being facetious. It's just that Christians and atheists overwhelmingly dominate the religion discussions in NSG. I was kidding about the prospect that 2.5-3 animist/animist-leaning posters could band together and become the new big dogs in the religion junkyard who could set the tone for every debate.

Yay for athiesm!

Friggin' spammers.

Let's talk about zombies.

If you wanna talk about zombies, go make a zombie thread!

After three long hard years, your wish has finally been fulfilled.

"What?" I hear myself cry out in Bewilderment...
I got to tell you all, This is giving me ulcers.
Ok, enough with the drama, I suppose.
But really, What does Jesus have to do with Zombies? Jesus is not a Zombie. Here on earth did that astoundingly errant idea void of logic and proof of any kind come from?

Zombies rise from the dead. Jesus, he supposedly rose from the dead. Do you see any similarities?

Have you heard of a 'lich'?

Eastern Orthodox/atheist.

DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.

For those of you interested in the Norse Gods, might I suggest an indepth look at

Asatru

Asatru is frequently regarded as one of the Neopagan family of religions. That family includes Wicca, Celtic Druidism, and re-creations of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and other ancient Pagan religions. However, many Asatruers prefer the term "Heathen" to "Neopagan" and look upon their tradition as "not just a branch on the Neopagan tree" but as a separate tree. Unlike Wicca, which has gradually evolved into many different traditions, the reconstruction of Asatru has been based on the surviving historical record. Its followers have maintained it as closely as possible to the original religion of the Norse people.

Asatru or Ásatrú is an Icelandic word which is a translation of the Danish word "Asetro." Asetro was "first seen in 1885 in an article in the periodical "Fjallkonan". The next recorded instance was in "Heiðinn siður á Íslandi" ("Heathen traditions in Iceland.") by Ólafur Briem (Reykjavík, 1945)." It means "belief in the Asir," the Gods. "Asatru" is a combination of "Asa" which is the possessive case of the word Æsir (Aesir) and "Tru" which means belief or religion.

Throughout Scandinavia the religion is called Forn Siðr (which means the Ancient way or tradition), Forn sed (the Old custom), Nordisk sed (Nordic custom), or Hedensk sed (Pagan custom).

I know a number of Asatru and their scholarship and research into it's history and customs has been exceptionally indepth.

I'd say that I most closely resemble a Wiccan, but my personal religion incorporates traditions, teaching, an bits and pieces from many others.
