now granted....I haven't done much research in zombie lore, but what I do know comes from Buffy/Angel and the movies (Most specifically Resident Evil)...and my thinking is that Jesus wouldn't have been considered a zombie.
A zombie has the lowest of reasoning functions....mainly to feed. They also can't really communicate, carry on a dialogue, or instantly teleport from one place to another....Jesus did all these things.
Although Jesus was dead for three days, and then rose from the dead (by His own power), he defies the common characteristics of a zombie....
...is that Jesus is a SUPER zombie.
I am not yet born, console me.
I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me,
with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me,
on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.
