"'They celebrate Easter the exact same way we do: commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night. Now, I wonder why we’re fucked up as a race. Anybody got any idea? You know, I’ve read the Bible. I can’t find the word bunny or chocolate anywhere in the fucking book.
Where do they come up with this shit? Why not goldfish left Lincoln logs in your sock drawer? As long as you’re making shit up - you know - go hog-wild. At least the goldfish with a Lincoln log on its back going across your carpet has some miraculous connotations: 'Mum, today I found a Lincoln log in my sock drawer.' 'That’s the story of Jesus.'' - Bill Hicks"
As an aside... you know, when the JWs show up on your doorstep on Xmas Eve, you can chalk that up to happenstance... but when they drop off their lit on Easter weekend as well, well then... then you know they're being intentionally subversive. Which I'd admire, if their faith wasn't as batshit nuts as the rest of them.
And oh yeah, the bunnies and the eggs and all that nonsense come from pagan fertility rites co-opted by the Catholic Church during their expansion. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
