when the zombies come, is suicide still a sin?

[Si modo]

In the book World War Z, a priest ends up shooting some infected folks because he figures one person going to Hell (the priest, for murder) is better than a dozen going to Hell for their suicides. So, he still figured it was still a sin, in that fictional account of the Zombie Apocalypse.

You have to shoot them in the head, have you learned nothing? While they are no longer human their brain still runs everything so you have to kill the brain.

Is not the Brain "undead" as well? Destroying it should not stop them. Killing the Brain does not "kill" the Brain. And does not eating Brain replace the destroyed brain?

Run like hell while leaving a trail of Ignited Dynamite!!

Nope conventional wisdom through out all levels of "zombie" facts and lore is that shooting them in the head kills them.

I sure that there exist a factual movie on Zombies in which the zombies can still move without their heads!!

I just have to think of it, that is all.

The priest was wrong. If they are infected with no cure then they are going to become Satan's spawn, zombies. Killing them is not a sin if it saves their souls. Nor would it be suicide if after being infected they took their own lives.

Here, if we're going to try and be 'realistic' about Zombies, why not watch a REAL zombie movie. LOOSELY based on the book "The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie".

If the torture scene doesn't make every man flinch or curl up into a small ball, they aren't human, they're zombies. Double tap to the head and don't get bit.
