Deuteronomy 7:5-6 calls for us to cut down and burn all images of false idols. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ must reclaim His thrown and take back His Holiday from the spawn of Evil which is the Easter Bunny. We must abandon materialistic excess and unbridled idol worship for the sake of our children and faith. The Easter Bunny must die and you will join Christ's hand in guiding the Hammer of God down upon him at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/04/oschter-haws-easter-tale-of-calamity.html
