A prime example of why I find most — if not all — religions to be self-aggrandizing, money-hungry, hypocritical organizations which are only one step removed from cults is this recent Easter play put on by the Glassport Assembly of God in Glassport, PA.  The play upset many of the children and parents in attendance because it showed the Easter bunny being whipped.  The actors also broke eggs that were meant for the Easter egg hunt and portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman.

One parent who took her 4-year-old son to see the play said, "He was crying and asking me why the bunny was being whipped."  She went on to say that the play was inappropriate for young children.

Can someone explain to me why in hell a church would find it acceptable to put on a play meant for children in which the Easter bunny is beaten and Easter eggs are smashed (among other things)?  Freedom of religion aside, the people involved should be charged with child abuse and reckless stupidity (the latter being easier to prove than the former).
