What do rabbits, bunnies, and eggs have to do with Easter, let alone Jesus and Christianity?

Rabbits and/or bunnies and eggs are symbols of fertility and new life. These metaphors do not have an actual connection to Jesus or Christianity unless one entertains the history of the Easter holiday. Easter is a Pagan holiday celebrating the new life of spring after a long, dark, and cold winter. The etymology of the word Easter is derived from the name of the Fertility Goddess, Ishtar or Austron.

"When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression. He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That’s just history." - Steve Austria on Economic Stimulus Plan

Darrel Rowland of the Columbus Dispatch adds, "Most historians date the beginning of the Great Depression at or shortly after the stock-market crash of 1929; Roosevelt took office in 1933."
