The classic zombie is a person who appear to have returned from the dead, wandering helplessly and hopelessly through life. One theory is that people may be turned into zombies, by being heavily drugged, buried alive, then dug up after their minds have been permanently impaired by oxygen deprivation. Others think they are sad examples of retardation or of physical damage to their minds.

Another, more dangerous type of zombies, have lost the spiritual ability to love their neighbors. Like the many professional liars chronicled in a couple of the above columns, they wander through life looking for excuses not to seek God and truth. Using the government schools, they work to produce generations of similar “Spiritual zombies” who will, like them, go through life without love.
