Easter Bunny

Easter Bunny, also known as Free-range Easter Hare, or Rabbit a la Pascha, is a traditional holiday meal prepared during the celebration of the far-fetched holiday known in Judeo-Christian society as Easter. As the holiday focuses on the brutal death and inexplicable rebirth of Jesus Christ, so too does tradition dictate the slaying of a rabbitIt makes perfect sense. Trust me, I'm a Christian.. Only the rabbit doesn't resurrect itself; it is consumed by good, wholesome Christians in celebration of Christ's life. Or death.. or something.
==Origins and customs==
Similar to the origins of Christianity, no man can say exactly where the traditional bunny feast began. Also similar to Christianity, no one really minds the fact that its origins cannot be traced; the traditional rabbit slaying has become a jovial occasion, so much so that blindly following the practice has become commonplace.
Each year, on a Sunday in April (dictated by the Pope at some point prior to April), the youngest member of a good Christian family is sent into the closest forest and told not to return without a dead rabbit in hand. After stalking, slaying, skinning, and gutting the animal, it is also the youth's responsibility to prepare a four-course meal with the bunny as its centerpiece. In doing so, according to Christian Easter Law, the young person becomes a more devout follower of Christ, and a more popular student in schoolAgain, I'm a Christian. Just trust me on this one.. After the meal, the family prays, sings songs, and thanks Christ once more for dying for the sins of man.
In order to avoid debates over religious freedoms, law enforcement agencies allow the young Christian hare-seekers to roam wooded areas freely, and generally do not respond to emergency calls involving missing persons until the week following the Easter holiday. It is generally agreed upon in most Christian communities that if a child is not fit enough to capture the Easter Bunny, they are altogether incapable of fully serving the Lord and is therefore worthless.
Another Easter Bunny was Harvey Korman, who used to bring gifts to children in a basket every Easter, color old rotten eggs funny colors and call them Easter eggs, and happened to look like a giant rabbit. Unfortunately, Harvey Korman passed away, and children began getting fewer gifts. Many blame it on the economy, but the truth is, there is no more Harvey Korman.
==The 1709 massacre==
The Easter Bunny was a poor son of a merchant, a rabbit living in desperate times. He had to quit school in order to help his father in supporting for his 187 brothers and 139 sisters. After the tragic death of his parents in 1709 by getting stepped on by the Pope, the Easter Bunny went mad, and killed all the children in Austria, to feed to his brothers and sisters. The next morning, after a night out drinking, he returned to his home to see it burnt and a sign that said "YOU ARE NEXT". He didn't want to die, so he fled to the western world, on a French boat headed for Quebec, where he currently resides.
==Preparation==
The feast of the Easter Bunny can be prepared any way the family's youngest member sees fit (as long as a vague religious theme can be applied to the dish). Below are the more common forms of Easter Bunny entrées:
Dish 	Preparation 	Bible Passage
Fried Rabbit Soufflé 	The rabbit is diced into tiny pieces and injected into a puff pastry. The pastry is slowly inflated, giving it a domed, cake-like appearance. 	As the flaky, fluffy pastry rises, so too shall we remember the body of the Lord, or the son of the Lord, rising, also.—Luke 12:27
Broiled Hare Gumbo 	The rabbit is grilled upon an open flame. It is then manually dissected and placed within a stew of choice (generally consisting of vegetables, rice, and host wafers). 	And lo, an angel did come before Isaac, and unto Isaac he did say: 'Go unto the bayou, oh son of man, and grilleth to perfection thy hare of choice. But whence thou hast finished, place yon bunny within a kettlepot, adorned with vegetables or rice...or host wafers...and do so serve him, at thy Easter feast.' --Leviticus 10:14-18
Rabbit Marrow Tar Tar 	The extracted rabbit marrow is boiled with the rabbit's lung and liver, and served with mashed potatoes and gravy. 	Thy Lord gaveth perfect mash unto thee, as Tipper questioned thy Lord: 'Why hast mine gravy not yet be still in thy gifted taters' and replied: 'for effort in thy gift effort be upholding thee' Thy good sir cast hist eyes upon the mash, whilst dippeth hist marrow, baptising thy wholesome meal. And lo, Praise give to thee on thy effort of thy perfect mash.—Peter 12:14-17
Pickled Easter Surprise 	The vinegar-soaked rabbit is prepared in a manner known only to the chef. 	It's great for rabbit, but this is a really tasty way to prepare any type of mammal, and it's fun too!—Martha, 11:51The Lost Gospel of Martha, an ancient cooking text, was uncovered in 1982, somewhere east of Mesopotamia.
Stuffed Rabbit Artichokes	Hollowed, hallowed artichokes are filled with chunked rabbit meat. Generally garnished with parsnips and served with a side of mashed potato and pino grigio communion wine.	And unto his children did sayeth the Lord: Don't you people realize how insanely improbable this religion is?!—Revelations, 1:01
Though any of the above methods are acceptable for the Easter feast, the finished product must be palatable. If strictly interpreted, the Bible states that a poorly prepared Easter Bunny is punishable by stoning.
==In popular culture==
The slaying of the Easter Bunny became such a popular event in Christianity that naturally, other religions became interested in the practice. Eventually, rabbit killings became so popular that Christian awareness programs began to spring up across the nation. As such, every year near Easter, men in giant rabbit suits visit malls across the nation, preaching the words of Jesus and warning children of other religions not to meddle in theology that doesn't belong to them.
After these sermons, photo opportunities are generally granted, but only to the pious. 
===Anti-Christian opposition===
Over the years, organizations like Heathens Who Hate Jesus and Godless Idiots Who are Definitely Going to Hell have spoken out against Christianity (and, tacitly, the practice of slaying bunnies to celebrate Easter). Their cries of animal cruelty have fallen on deaf ears, however, as Christians are mandated by God to worship him however they think the Bible tells them to. This methodology also renders Christians exempt from legal prosecution and prison sentences.
==Easter eggs==
Easter eggs are bonus features on DVDs and in video games, and as such, bear no relation to the Easter Bunny.
