Since I’m still not able to leave a comment . . .
I thought the WH Easter bunny was lame. Like the costume was just thrown together.
Maybe next year they’ll have a brown, black, yellow or purple bunny because of the backlash they’ll get for the bunny being white. (?) At least they didn’t have a male bunny or all hell would break loose.
I wonder how much impact the teaching of bunny/egg vs. passover/resurrection has had on generations of children? A great way to water down religion. (?)
Guess it came to mind from watching the “pastor vs. karen/cops” vid before the bunny RA.

The practice of religion is a personal thing, not a public spectacle. If you want your religion to be strong and pure and not “watered down” then that is what you do in your life and your home. Practice strong and pure. Santa and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy et al are secular traditions. They are intended to be fun not sacred.
The Easter bunny and eggs predate xtianity. They are motifs of the vernal equinox and the beginning of Spring and ending of winter.
Yes, I understand the history of the bunny and eggs. My point was if children don’t learn the meaning behind the things they’re taught to do (assuming their parents practice a religion or belief), then they learn they dress up, have fun, and hunt easter eggs on a particular day every year, but they don’t know WHY, the history.
They may continue to pass it along to their kids also. Pretty soon hardly anyone knows what the bunny and eggs are about or the resurrection.
As someone wrote recently “Easter, as you know, is a celebration of Jesus’ bloody revenge on the chocolate bunny who led the romans to crucifying him and having to lie undergroung until he one-inch punched himself all the way up, found a katana, chopped the bunny into pieces, and ate it”
