why should I do research when I have you? so let me get this straight. the mom's and dad's would hide these "sacred objects" and say the fertile bunny god hid them from the children and then watch them try and find them. intresting.

I never said bunny's and candy had anything to do the resurection of Christ. and so what if you take an ancient language and spell it out in english and it happens to look like Easter. All that means is whoever came up with that would kick ass at Babylonian Scrabble.
