shocking revelation!!!!
Apr 5 2008, 9:54 PM EDT
I was a bit shocked when i read some of the entries ,basically because they were not all testosterone driven. I am glad to have joined this group and found many like minded individuals that are "thinking apes". The break down of modern society intrigues my melon and what would happen to those that were fortunate enough to survive. I think that Zombies personify the arrogant, egotistic snobs that each of us encounter, lost in their own world, never stopping to see what real people are doing. Often their obsession with brains, flesh, or money hinder their basic human emotions, thus leaving a society of walking dead. The idea of a fantasy involving high power rifles and long sharp blades severing these "zombies" to bits is one that feeds the need of justification against such lack of real life. Of course , with all the super bugs running rampant in our world, I believe that a senario such as "28 days later" would be more accurate as an end to society.
Galatians 6:7says Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. I think this describes our end. Man-made folly, death to mother earth with her retribution being a super virus with no cure. And zombies are cool, like Fonzie !

I know it's interesting that so many people are interested too. It seems to me that it was a craze in the world from 2005 and on but it seems to have died down. Do you find this valuable?

The fear of zombies. I think the main female character (Barbara) in the remake of Night of the the Living Dead (Am extremely underrated movie) put it best when she states at the end "They're us and we're them." The possibility of putting humans in a different perspective on how we relate to the undead is fractured and desensitized. Zombies are reduced to the most primitive of human traits (hunger and mobility with no emotion or reasoning and with a desire to satiate their common attributes). Where as we who are not so different are force to put aside emotion and kill to survive. This is justified by the fact that they are already dead. Plus the fact the human-like corpses feast on us humans is abstract and chilling in itself as it juxtaposes the concept of us feeding on ourselves figuratively and literally.
