You read right. Zombie. *******. Jesus.

No not really, but some people probably would.

This is a more Backroomish topic.
I think you already knew the answer to your question before you asked. Since it doesn't offend you, your only question is do you want to offend anyone or maybe, do you care if you offend anyone? You might not get any treats at some houses if they realize what you are supposed to be.

Anything religious or political is bound to piss off somebody somewhere.
Many holidays we mark on our calenders have roots in pagan or other religious purposes. Their meanings have changed over the centuries so that the modern day reasons for celebrating have nearly nothing to do with the original purposes behind them. Christmas is a wonderful example. I don't worry about getting caught up in the specifics. Candy is on sale this time of year, that's all I care about. :thumbsup:
As for the topic of whether Zombie Jesus would offend me: No*. But it would be in extremely poor taste, and whoever would do it would most likely be doing so for the sole purpose of offending someone. If there's any problem i'd have with it, it would be that the person in question is making a deliberate attempt at being an :daisy:.
Zombie Sean Connery on the other hand would freak me right the heck out.
I agree with Monk. Why deliberately look for trouble?

Well think about it, little kids are encouraged to dress up like vampires, essentially mass murderers. Zombie Jesus is the pinnacle of all that is holy, good, and dead. Where in the bible does it condemn zombies? If halloween cannot be tied to paganism, then zombies cannot be to heretical voodooism.

If you aren't actually breaking the law with nudity then who cares if your costume is in poor taste. 90% of all Halloween costumes are in poor taste, it's a holiday about cheap thrills and dumb fun. Relax and wear what makes you laugh.
Personally I find zombie Jesus absolutely hilarious, but I also laughed at an abortion doctor costume I saw that was really over the top gross (Turns out it wasn't supposed to be funny, it was a nut job 'protesting').

Silliness.
I think it is a bit tawdry to mock (at least implicitly) another's religion.
However, it is also a little silly for a believer to let it affect them so much. After all, the Deity is really beyond all this anyway, and such behavior from another cannot affect your relationship with the almighty.

Zombie Micheal Jackson is so 1980s. Now if they spice it up with, say, a 4 foot tall blow up doll attached to his crotch, now that would be a costume.

Joke or not, what is the attraction of purposely trying to offend someone? It might be appropriate if you are friends with the people you are trying to offend because they know you are just kidding around, but the joke is lost on someone who doesn't have a clue you are just "having fun".

I want to know why though? Is it because the children dressed as little devils? Is it because nuns aren't supposed to be pregnant? Is it because nuns can be pregnant but should always give birth to little angels? Perhaps people prefer to see Jon Goselin dressed as giant phallus? I personally believe she's poking at herself (besides looking for instant exposure) and that's a perfect costume for her.

Actually, someone in my school did dress as Obama. He wore a terrifying rubber mask that made me **** all over myself. There's a picture of him being "arrested" by a kid dressed as an NYPD officer somewhere.
Two of our Computer Science teachers dressed as Billy Mays and Vince Offer and performed skits. I don't think they've put the videos up yet.

I don't really buy this, not really. You can't say "Christians" (which is a very abstract word) when it comes to bashing. If you insult the Pope in the vicinity of a protestant Christian, why would he mind?
If you make a joke about the Dalai Lama near a Theravada Buddhist (or a non-Tibetan) Buddhist, why would he feel insulted. And y'know, there isn't really a reason for Buddhists to feel insulted. The historical Buddha also said this numerous times; "Don't be angry when outsiders attack me, the tradition or the school. The same goes when they praise us. Instead, find out what is right and what is not right and admit that truth." (from the Digha Nikaya)
The same goes for Islam. Islam is not one large immobile block. Like in virtually all religions there are a lot of sects and schools. Islamic fundamentalism has a different cause, and the cause is not Islam on its own.
Besides, do you mean religious Jews or ethnic Jews?
