So yesterday was Easter, which is supposed to be, as many of you know, a day for celebrating, for us believers, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how is it celebrated in this and many other countries? By telling our children that a giant mystical bunny, left colored eggs, and choclate candies while they slept.
Now I understand that there are many who don't believe that Jesus was resurrected, and there are even some who don't believe that Jesus even existed. But what I dont understand is why some people are more comfortable telling their kids an utter lie (The Easter Bunny), than telling their kids a possible truth (the ressurection of Christ). I just dont understand it maybe someone could explain it.

The one lie is comforting in its commercialism, the other is unsettling in its implications. Also, children are less apt to find a cute bunny scary than they are a nearly naked, bleeding man hanging from a cross.
