I was doing some search on google about Easter and came across this word Zombie Jesus and some saying about Zombie Jesus Day!! Really I guess there was a movie with that name Zombie Jesus if I am not wrong but I just came across a website which has really make me feel like some people only have to insult to show that they don’t like something!!
I was infact looking for some information on why is easter celebrated and my initial post was going to be on that but then I came across that word. As a Mauritian I respect all religions and I respect Christianity too for what it is as it is. This is the beauty of Mauritius I guess. But when I saw that word Zombie Jesus I wanted to know what the hell is this. So I did some more search until I came across a website called zombiejesus.com which is highly insulting to christians! I am not directly linking to them but you can have a look by typing the address. Below is a preview of their front page.
Now my topic of discussion is not really if Jesus was a zombie or whatever nonsense that website claim! What I want to show is that assume I don’t like something and there are many people who like it out there, I do what? I simply reserve my opinion and will not insult the belief of the others. Right? That’s what you would do too I guess. But by coming across this website (check this clone of wikipedia too here) I have the feeling that people tend to mock others just in a way to catch attention!
I guess even a Hindu or a Muslim would have felt really hurt to see something like this about their belief! I am sorry if I have brought this topic today on the Easter day, but I wanna know what are your opinion on such people who mock the religion of others? Are the people who behave in this way always atheist or Satanist or what? What is your opinion on such people who tend to mock other religions and most importantly the question which came to my mind when I saw that picture was WHY THEY DID THAT?

Well said Zombie Jesus! I can’t wait for your second coming. You can have my brains any day.

I assure you my zombism is not meant to offend christians! I’m just as mad about the whole mess as the rest of you are.
But at the end of the day I do meet the technical description of a zombie, so thus it is the cross I must bare.
Oh yeah, while I’m here, stop projecting your own beliefs and prejudices upon my name. I love all of my children, regardless of their race, creed, or sexual orientation.

I am a Christian and I wished some of my friends a “Merry Zombie Christ Day” on Easter. I did so with no malice or ill will. It was simply a comment on the fact that Easter is a celebration of when Christ rose from the dead…. Just like zombies do….

@Selven
I will agree some what with what you are saying. Perhaps my example was lacking the correct metaphor. I was mainly just trying to get the point across that he was being a prick. But high five for you Selven for remaining level headed.

Wow Yashi you’ve got some balls man. If they were playing then fine if they weren’t and they are starting crap then fine. None of this matters but it sucks to have some one you believe in being made fun of no matter the situation. I’m not a christian and don’t claim to be but if they want to talk about then let them. I don’t think it’s your place to come in here and be a prick because they feel that this site is wrong. You are right about the whole not being hyper-sensitive gig you were mentioning above but no matter where you are standing in the sand eventually there has to be a line drawn. I mean for instance what if I made a site that talked about your family and said things about them that might be true or at least true in a round about way but they were insulting to you would that be ok if you thought I was joking? I mean what proof do you have that that’s the only thing they were doing? Either way the point I’m trying to make is no one’s doing anything anyways except for talking about this site. It’s not like they are trying to start a petition to get rid of it or arrest the make or some crap like that and a few people have even said yes it’s his/her right to make the site but that doesn’t mean anyone has to like and that they can’t b*tch about it and its “humor”.

I personally think Jesus wouldn’t be outraged by this. He was humble enough to wash the feet of other people, to forgive the people who betrayed and killed him, who booed him, spit on him and laughed at his sufferings and mocked his claim to being the son of God.
In comparison, this is silly. It is a pretty good parody in fact. Eat my flesh, Drink my blood. That’s exactly the point of going to Church each week.
Though I still think people should avoid doing such things, just to be considerate to people who are more easily upset.

It’s actually just some fun, nothing to do with right to free speech. It’s just harmless fun and people who did it do not actually think Jesus was a zombie!
As for VOH, most of them are idiots.
