How's the bunny connected to Easter?

How's the bunny connected to Easter?

So todays post is in honor of Easter. This isnt a ridiculis news article but after reading, leads to my commical review.
Ever seen Robin Williams Live on HBO? One of his jokes was about Easter and how you get a resurrecting Jesus and Chocholate Eggs. Easter egg hunts having children searching for Jesus. Well from then on I always wondered that too and heres your answer folks.

Christian families are celebrating Jesus in the morning with Pastor John and then celebrating a Pagan religion at grandmas. The bunny represents pagans god of Spring. And I quote, "The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate."

So there you have it your kids are celebrating a whole slew of mixed signals today. Happy family holy time all dressed up and eating Jeez its (Jesus Cheez-its) to later celebrate lots and lots of spring fevered humpity miracle egg laying rabbit gods.

*Claps for religion* Way to go America. Happy Easter everyone!
