Holy Capitalism, Batman!

Okay, the people that know me probably know how I feel about religion. If you don’t know, just ask me. I’ve got no problems sharing my views, but I don’t unless people ask because I don’t really want to offend people.

So here’s the reason I figured I needed to write something. Easter is supposed to be Christianity’s chance to celebrate Jesus coming back after the crucifixion. Never mind the fact that I’m not sure what chocolate bunnies and plastic eggs have to do with Jesus. I was sitting here watching some TV one night before Easter, and there’s a commercial on for one of the Wal-Mart-like stores and getting all your Easter necessities in one place. What’s up with Easter baskets with themes? I’m sorry, what the crap does Hannah Montana have to do with Jesus coming back after the crucifixion?

Okay, if anyone can tell me how the two are connected I’m all ears. I don’t get it.
