Dig deep and be creative is the best part of this question. If we can say "The Living God" then we can also say "The Dead God" If we say "The Eternity God" does this mean that this God will never die. History can enlighten us to the longevity of Gods and religion where those Gods of the past have died when the society that was devoted to that specific God who dies out of existence. We are then left with the mysteries contained in the artifacts that linger in the sands of time which archaeological have uncovered that a particular society religious practises. So my conclusion is. "The Living God scenario is only alive as those followers and devotees are alive to keep that certain God alive. When this fails and this society no longer exist or changes to other Gods then there is the Death of that God particular and its religion.

A zombie:
is an undead person in the Afro-Caribbean and Creole spiritual belief system of Vodou. These folkloric zombies are humans who have had their Ti Bon Ange or soul stolen by supernatural means and shamanic medicine, and are forced to work for their "zombie master" as uncomplaining slaves on isolated plantations. Other more macabre versions of zombies have become a staple of modern horror fiction, where they usually engage in human cannibalism.

(According to the tenets of Vodou, a dead person can be revived by a bokor or black magician. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor since they have no will of their own. "Zombi" is also another name of the voodoo snake god Damballah Wedo, of Niger-Congo origin; it is akin to the Kongo word nzambi, which means "god."

In 1937, while researching folklore in Haiti, Zora Neale Hurston encountered the case of Felicia Felix-Mentor, who had died and been buried in 1907 at the age of 29. Villagers believed they saw Felicia wandering the streets in a daze thirty years after her death, as well as claiming the same with several other people. Hurston pursued rumours that the affected persons were given powerful drugs, but she was unable to locate individuals willing to offer much information. She wrote:

"What is more, if science ever gets to the bottom of Vodou in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than gestures of ceremony." )
