Happy(?) Easter

Happy Easter...?

I never really understood this holiday, besides the fact that it has to do with stuff that's in the bible. Like, how did chicken eggs and bunnies get in the picture? And why are the bunnies hiding the eggs everywhere? Is the bunny not stealing the newly laid eggs from the chickens, then just abandoning them, hiding them in difficult places to find, relying on hope that someone will find them? What if this child does not find them, then what? The baby chicks will be killed, frozen to death. What is this bunny actually trying to teach our children? To steal, hide, and abandon newborns that they don't want in the first place; to commit this type of abortion which is against the bible?
The way I see it, this whole "holiday" is just one big oxymoronic type of a contradiction. People are celebrating the murders of many poor and innocent baby chicks, and mocking their lifeless souls by eating chick-looking peeps and other various types of chocolates. And to top it all off, some even kill the chick's mother just to have it for dinner that night. Talk about a slaughterhouse holiday...
