As someone who left the Protestant Church on good terms… I like the whimsy of Zombie Jesus.

However, someone alerted this thread. so I cleared it out while DU'ers could click on edit history in OP to see graphics.

Ultimately, after this thread REFUSED TO DIE, I decided to resurrect the original graphics.

IMO, it's way too silly to be offensive.

1. Yay!

Think I'll go to the movies. Or eat lunch. Or have a fancy milkshake at Sbux.

[Demo_Chris]

2. He's risen from the grave and he wants your soul! nt

[chrisstopher]

3. Zombie Jesus

And he's been eating people's brains ever since.

[Demo_Chris]

36. Spooky! nt

[eppur_se_muova]

99. First he came for your soul ... now he wants your brain. nt

The amazing thing is that is was so close.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

We have many Christian DUers. This is hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, and inappropriate - especially on Easter Sunday.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 20, 2014, 11:57 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Especially on a day that is ruled by a magic rabbit hiding colorful eggs and candies. I'm sorry, I respect all faith in a compassionate way (unless given faith wants to oppress,) but this alert is just silly and overly sensitive.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Trash
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

[KittyWampus]

5. Thanks, I just cleared out the OP. Honestly didn't find it offensive. I think it's actually

fun.

[MohRokTah]

20. So 3 out of 7 people cannot take a joke when poked at their sacred stories?

Shades of Islamic intolerance of Mohammed cartoons.

[Logical]

46. LOL, not one 'HIDE IT' had the guts to explain why! nt

[n2doc]

6. Some peeps don't have a sense of humor

[whathehell]

7. Yeah, and some have no sensitivity..

Just sayin...

[LordGlenconner]

16. You'll be okay

Just rub some dirt on it.

[pintobean]

24. Will redundancy help?

Will redundancy help?

[whathehell]

41. I'm fine, honey..

I wouldn't vouch for you, though

[LordGlenconner]

42. Good to know

From your whining I wasn't sure. Thanks for the heads up.

[whathehell]

45. Oh yes, I'm sure..

and I thank you for your concern -- It must be hard to think of others when

you're foaming at the mouth so heavily.

[HERVEPA]

79. Honey? Please check URL of board you're posing on.

[Logical]

47. Sensivity to what? Made up stuff? nt

[whathehell]

52. Um, as you may have noticed, not everyone on this board sees it that way..Of course THEY,

it seems, are to be simply discounted if not blatantly ridiculed and scorned..

The DU directive to "respect the feelings of others" on the board is obviously meaningless, unless,

of course, you're a religion-hating atheist.

[Logical]

64. No, if someone was promoting Psychic Readings I would say the same thing, or flat earth. nt

[Tom Ripley]

72. Or if the Three Bears actually preferred cold cereal to porridge

[Logical]

74. That is not a true story? nt

[RandoLoodie]

109. you don't have a right to not be offended.

[HERVEPA]

78. Tough. We allow making fun in this country.

[The Straight Story]

8. I am partial to this one:

[NutmegYankee]

10. Now that is awesome.

It parallels/parodies another common issue of the day.

[ismnotwasm]

9. I like it too

I'm going to post that pic on FB.

[ManiacJoe]

11. It took me a few minutes to figure out that

this IS the zombie Jesus thread...

I vote that the graphics be put back.

[Go Vols]

33. +1

[KittyWampus]

39. I resurrected the thread since it didn't die.

[CrispyQ]

12. Holy shit people are stupid.

If you don't want to see pics of Zombie Jesus, then don't click on threads with the title Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

Kick in hopes they are still offended.

[ismnotwasm]

13. Bring back Zombie Jesus!

Shit I hide all kinds of threads. Fair is fair

[etherealtruth]

14. That's just it

Why the eff would you click the link if you are offended by stuff like that?

I served on a jury yesterday for a graphic about the Easter Bunny that offended someone (it was funny, tasteless, but funny) ... mercifully the jury voted 7-0 to let it stand

[eppur_se_muova]

100. You have some nerve posting a reply like that ...

without giving a link!

[Vashta Nerada]

17. + infinity

[LiberalElite]

31. Yours was alerted on too -

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=inbox&view=1461835

[CrispyQ]

35. Good. While they're alerting on me I'm gonna find all the Easter eggs.

[LiberalElite]

37. HA! nt

[ismnotwasm]

67. Here

Have fun!

[whathehell]

43. Yeah, including you,

it seems.

"If you don't want to see pics of Zombie Jesus, then don't click on threads with the title Happy Zombie Jesus Day"

Ever heard of something called 'curiosity'?

[Logical]

48. Ahhhh, someone is mad! 2nd whine in this thread! nt

[whathehell]

54. So you've met your goal!

You've vented your your spleen and, Wow Wee, mom, I think I even made someone mad!

Feel better now?

[whathehell]

60. Uh oh...I see you live in Kansas..

I now understand your frustration....

[Logical]

65. LOL, well I will agree with you. This place is a GOP hell hole! So we agree on Kansas! :-)

[CrispyQ]

55. Struck a nerve, huh?

[csziggy]

15. Ah, but Jesus was not a zombie - he was a lich!

From two years ago:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101893193

[Vashta Nerada]

18. I was just going to post that!

Jesus was a lich!

[csziggy]

22. It's my favorite DU Easter post of all time!

[Arugula Latte]

50. Is a group of angry liches called a Lich Mob?

[ismnotwasm]

19. I thought liches were water zombies?

Must have got that from from fantasy book.

[CrispyQ]

21. Everything leads to Zombies.

[ismnotwasm]

23. It's the Zombie rule

[CrispyQ]

56. Zombies rule, as evidenced by the fact that Zombie Jesus has returned!

[ismnotwasm]

62. ...

[KittyWampus]

40. What culture is the lich from? Never heard of it before.

[csziggy]

77. American fantasy/horror fiction and gaming, apparently

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lich

[ismnotwasm]

25. Here's Kevin Smith with his Easter Egg

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

49. No let's not

[ismnotwasm]

61. Predates Lovecraft

Oh the human mind and it's monsters!

[Bluenorthwest]

26. Of course the offended are prefectly happy to endorse the Pope who calls living human beings

tools of Satan, they cheer for his hate speech and bigotry daily here on DU. It is amazing to me, because they expect so much out of others, their preachers rail against our families and children and they do not object. Their peers in other nations create laws to put us in jail for life and they do not object, they do not take action, they nod along and post about how Francis must not be questioned.....

[Scootaloo]

27. THat's kind of out of the blue

Where are you getting the parallels from?

[Bluenorthwest]

107. Gee they are offended at a comic about a religious figure but they are happy to post insults

about actual fellow DUers. Hypocrites. 'Don't mock us it puts a glitch in our libeling of you and your entire community'.
For Easter the Bishops in Uganda praised the anti gay laws, Francis said nothing and DU cheered for him. But they alert on a comic. Not a single word from the 'faith community' against the shit going down in their name in Uganda. Plenty of praise for the leaders responsible.

[Scootaloo]

108. Who?

[itsrobert]

28. Touchdownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Scruffy Rumbler]

90. Someone wasn't happy...

[1000words]

94. Torchedown Jesus

[Scruffy Rumbler]

95. ....

[Inkfreak]

106. Ok, that made me laugh! GOOOOAAAAALLL!!!!

[McCamy Taylor]

29. I think it is very funny, and I am not sure why it got banned. It's a joke.

You should see some of the things they are saying about the Pope and those are not even jokes.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

30. Since we're on the topic of offensive Easter graphics

[LeftyMom]

32. Christ on a trailer hitch, people are easily offended.

[BainsBane]

34. You all are terrible!

[Maeve]

51. And your post was also alerted on

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 20, 2014, 03:35 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see the offense.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: An obviously mean spirited and malicious post against the religious members of this board, just a thought, Catholics as a majority have voted for our President, Teddy, Bobby and Jack were Catholics, our Vice President is a proud and proclaimed Catholic, this shitty and childish mockery of faith is something RWers do to Islam and Pagans. We shouldn't. Entire thread is deplorable
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Magical sky pixie day seems to have set people on edge.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP was enough warning that religiously-sensitive people might be offended by posts in the thread and it didn't get hidden so....
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

(only going to say that I was NOT #3)

[LeftyMom]

63. I would remind juror #3 that trailer hitch Jesus came to the Schiavo circus,

and the responsible party is almost certainly Catholic.

[BainsBane]

70. Here's a hint folks

If you're offended by religious jokes, don't sign on DU on Holy Days.

[m-lekktor]

38. whoever was offended by the zombie jesus (which is all over facebook today)

sure as hell wouldn't like the Betty Bowers, America's best christian, "cooking with jesus" video that is also making the rounds today! that one is hysterical!I won't post it here.

[chrisstopher]

44. He died for your sins

He's back for your brains!

[Arugula Latte]

53. IMO Zombie Jesus has stolen waaay too many brains.

[hrmjustin]

57. My sense of humor can improve.

59. Oh ye of little faith to take offense at mockery of thy holy stories...

Seriously, only the faithless will take offense at mockery of their proclaimed "faith".

[flvegan]

66. I love it when the outrage of the humorless keeps a thread alive.

I'm sure I'll be alerted on as well.

[LeftyMom]

68. Well it's a good thing that the alerter is sooo Christian that they're spending the holiest day on

the liturgical calendar dicking around on DU. I'm very impressed by their piety.

[flvegan]

69. Says the poster of Trailer Hitch Jesus.

[LeftyMom]

71. Yeah, but we all know what a disrespectful heretic I am.

[flvegan]

75. You're just mad because JesusBunny brought you no eggs.

[LeftyMom]

84. I got chocolate. :D

[flvegan]

86. If it's dark and left behind by a bunny

it might not be chocolate.

[LeftyMom]

87. TOOOOOO SOON!

Vlad's only been dead uh *counts on fingers* 14 years?

[1000words]

76. While we all have our crosses to bear ...

the alert was indeed shrouded in pettiness.

[Skip Intro]

104. Well, you know how those Christians are. n/t

[Tom Ripley]

73. Onward, Touchy Christians!

[Vashta Nerada]

80. I like these:

[cordelia]

81. Even more juvenile than the OP. Now, THAT took some doing!

You must be very proud!

[LeftyMom]

85. Has the mystery alerter been found?

[Vashta Nerada]

98. Nothing juvenile about it.

It was about mocking. And mocked I did.

[1000words]

82. ^^^Someone please post jury results^^^

[LostOne4Ever]

91. Rofl

Especially love the one about nepotism

[WinkyDink]

83. I wouldn't mind so much except that Islam is NEVER MOCKED HEREIN.

[LeftyMom]

88. There's a pretty good Mohammed joke on this very thread, genius.

[Mariana]

89. Thou shalt not bear false witness etc. etc.

Please see post #8.

[LostOne4Ever]

92. Ask and thou shalt recieve

[LostOne4Ever]

93. I prefer to think of it as Chocolate bunny day myself

That said, Happy Easter to all you believers who appreciate a sense of humor and to those who don't!

[Demo_Chris]

96. I think 'Satan' needs a special day as well, fallen angel day or some such. Fair play and all. nt

[mike_c]

97. best thread all day, LOL....

[chrisstopher]

101. OMG

We're all going ta hell

[LostOne4Ever]
