Also an immutable law- get unhinged about religion in public, receive firestorm from New Media in private. Calls from O'Reilly. And every radio talk show producer from here to Cucamonga. Angry responses on blogs. All in the name of Devout Secular Humanism. Today the Easter Bunny, tomorrow something or other......

Or- the Easter Bunny you save may be your own.

Ok, the Easter Bunny and "Happy Easter" are banned from the city hall of SAINT Paul, Minn.? Ok, now, who is the city named after? Sounds familiar. What book did he help write?

We must sue and force them to rename the city, "Sangerville."

If anyone wants my recipe for coniglio di Pasqua alla cacciatore (Easter Bunny, hunters' style), just holler. It is quite good. I also recommend making an amuse bouche out of rabbit kidneys and roasted saddle of rabbit (idea stolen shamelessly from Thomas Keller), which would be perfect for an Easter feast, between the green garlic soup and the roast leg of lamb.

This reminds me - for various silly reasons - of this comic strip:

I was raised Catholic but a Fundie Evangelic saved me from the clutches of the Pope and the Easter Bunny. He told me a disturbing story about a Catholic missionary in Athens who went on a sight seeing tour of the pagan shrines there. It seems this Papist Pagan was not satisfied with this fall from grace however; He ascended the Areopagus and began to preach what He called the Gospel. True to Papist form He began, not with a text of Scripture, but with a quote from one of those pagan shrines. I found this so objectionable that I tendered my resignation from the Catholic Church. This does not make me a bad person.
THE EASTER BUNNY MUST DIE!
For the biblically challenged please read ACTS OF APOSTLES 17:22-34

Okay, okay, I think I got it. Catholics are to be condemned by Christians for using the term "Easter" because it comes from a pagan goddess ... and Easter is to be condemned (along with Easter Bunnies, Easter Eggs, Easter Parade, Easter Bonnets) because it's Christian.
