The Dennett quote you skip the "not in the systematically mysterious way that supports such doctrines". I'd say " not the bullshit superstitions and horror movies". By "zombies" he is talking about how down to the single atom which by itself acts a certain way.
You better stop now before you beclown yourself even more than you already have. Anyone can see that I did NOT skip the part about about epiphenomenalism in my quote. Please go on though...display your complete ignorance for all the world to see. The zombies in question have nothing to do with atoms behaving a certain way. He is talking about P-zombies, people that behave in every way like everyone else but do not experience qualia. It is a very very famous thought problem by David Chalmers and the fact that you don't know about it just shows that you haven't a clue.
