> [@Malthus](#): > > Isn’t Jesus basically a holy zombie to begin with? I mean, back from the dead and all. 😃 Nope, more’n one way to come back from the dead. Doesn’t lurch around after brains or have a sickly green pallor (he walked with a couple of guys on the way to Emmaus and they didn’t notice a thing out of the ordinary) so not a zombie. Didn’t get bitten nor have long fangs or an aversion to crosses (aside from what you or I would get from being nailed to one) so not a vampire, came back minus his grave bandages so not a mummy… instead he came back with a fully functional body with what seem to have been, if anything, more powers than the old one. Sounds more like _Epic Resurrection_ to me. ---

And after you’d seen patient Og, I’ll bet he said “Verily, verily. Whatsoever thou hast done for the least of these, thou hast done for me. Thanks for the pills, doc. I feel great!” But, if you left Og just sitting in the waiting room… you’re in an Ogdamned Heap O’ Trouble! ---

> [@Malacandra](#): > > . . . came back minus his grave bandages so not a mummy… In the Boris Karloff “The Mummy” he takes off his bandages and, from that point, looks and acts pretty much like a normal (if more than slightly creepy) guy… Maybe all those ointments that Joseph of Arimathea paid for were really exotic and mystical unguents that began an external mummification process! And, who knows, late at night, before rolling the stone in place to seal the tomb, some of the workmen lingered and removed the bodily organs. Did anyone, on that first Easter morning, search the cave for canopic jars? Now, I’m not saying this is the way it has to be… But can anyone prove it isn’t true? Because, y’know, by the rules of this thread, they have to! ---
