The metaphor of "inner zombies" reflects our struggle against a life devoid of spiritual purpose and commitment.

Why didn’t Adam and Eve die when they ate the fruit? They Did!! They became the walking dead!!
How do we become NOT one of the walking dead? John 3:16 / Romans 3:23 / Romans 6:23 / Romans 10:9,10,13
Characteristics of a Zombie A Zombie’s being is committed to the fulfillment of his desire. Zombies disregard their own well being and well being of others to get what they want. Zombies have a mindless commitment to their herds, which are always destructive, and they don’t know it.
