When I was a child. How old are you? This question is a bit juvenile, don't you think?

Well... since i was a child, the Easter Bunny has been bringing me delicious chocolate, and all he asked was a tithing of painted boiled eggs. Since i saw no other explanation than the story of the easter bunny, and since i had FAITH in the easter bunny, i saw no reason to explore any farther into it and accepted the easter bunny as my bringer of chocolate goods. Some people will argue with me and say their is no scientific proof that the easter bunny exists, and that their are obvious contradictions, such as why would a vegetarian bunny want eggs, but i just tell those non-believing heathens that they do not have enough faith, and if they want chocolate they must convert and have faith. Then i give them my first eater bunny pamphlet from the third grade and hope they are saved. Somehow THEY also get delicious chocolate, without having faith in the easter bunny. Is this fair? i do not think so!

Well every Easter morning I wake up to see some Cadbury Creme Eggs laying on my bed table. I have a sneaking suspicion my boyfriend leaves them there...but I haven't fully ruled out the Easter Bunny. I guess I'm agnostic when it comes to the Easter Bunny.

I mean, come on, prove the Easter Bunny does not exist.

The Easter Bunny is a pagan symbol for fertility and reproduction. Their were many pagans who worshipped fertility gods, and we have carried these pagan symbols into todays culture and combined them with so-called christian religions.

No, of course not! You'd be daft to believe such a stupid and obviously made-up thing.

But I do whole-heartedly believe in the Great Pumpkin! And I swear, my pumpkin patch will be the most sincere NEXT year!

No because it isn't real; it comes from paganism; it's a goddess.

EASTER NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE
"The English word 'Easter' came from the Anglo-Saxon Eastre or Estera, a Teutonic goddess to whom sacrifice was offered in April, so the name was transferred to the Pashal Feast. The word does not properly occur in Scripture although the AV (King James Translation) has it in ACTS 12:4 where it stands for 'Passover' as it is rightly rendered in RV (Revised Version). There is no trace of Easter celebration in the New Testament..." (INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA VOL.2, P.889). The word 'Easter' has confused some but the word in the original form is "Pascha" meaning "Passover". It occurs 29 times in the New Testament & everytime it's translated Passover except in Acts 12:4. If you read carefully (ACTS 12:1-4); it says that Herod killed James and was trying to kill Peter in an effort to "vex the church"(Please the Jews). Then in VERSE 3 "were the days of unleavened bread"; see LEV.23. He put him in prison intending to try him "after Easter" (KJV). Now if Herod was trying to "please the Jews" & "vex the church" Why would he have delayed the trial until after 'Easter?'" If this was a "christian holy day", especially one in honoring Christ's resurrection, he would surely not be pleasing the Jews, Wouldn't it be more pleasing to the Jews to vex the church by killing one of it's Apostles on it's own "holy-day," would it not?

ORIGIN OF EASTER: WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
Easter was never observed by the Apostles of Christ or Christ's Religion. "The name 'Easter' comes to us from the mythlogical writings of the Ancient Teucrians (who lived 1200BC along the southern coast of Palestine) where it's known as 'Ostern'" BY GROVER STEVENS. "The name 'Easter' is merely the slightly changed English spelling of the name of the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian idol goddess, Ishtar (pronounced eesh-tar)." WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY says "Easter is from the pre-historic name of a pagan spring festival." THE OXFORD DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY says, "Easter is derived from the name of goddess whose feast was celebrated at the vernal equinox." THE SCHOLARY NEW SCHAFF-HERZOG RELIGIOUS ENCYCLOPEDIA says, "This goddess is also widely known as Astarte...The cult originated in Babylonia and spread to Assyria, Mesopotamia, Syria & Palestine, then through the Phoenicians to all of the Meditteranean peoples...Ishtar was in fact primarily and chiefly identified as Venus, the most beautiful of celestial objects & from the terrestrial side, the primarily motive of the worship of Ishtar was the impulse to deify sensuous and sensuality." ALEXANDER HISLOP SAYS IN THE TWO BABYLONS (P.103), "Easter bears its Chaldean origin on its forehead. Easter is nothing else than Asarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven..."
