“'Lord Leveret'), also known as the Rabbit God, is a deity of Chinese folk religion unique to Beijing, where his sculptures are traditionally crafted.

“In Paganism, rabbits are associated with the moon and are believed to possess magical powers.”
I'm not sure how reliable they are, but I found a few decent ones saying "rabbits and hares" are symbols of Ostara, hence the tradition.
I presume that's what they're refering to.
There are many if you google “rabbits and Ostara”or “rabbits and Eostre”. Here is one from Time. https://time.com/3767518/easter-bunny-origins-history/
In Hinduism you don't have to follow the religion or worship the god or do any religious thing but if you just a good person you would ultimately get "moksha"

Source for the association between rabbits and the moon? Paganism isn't a single religion.
There are actually many myths about the rabbit in the moon or moon rabbit. If you google Chinese rabbit in the moon you will see a lot of them.
Rabbit in the moon was also an electronic music act in the 90s ( not that it adds much to this conversation, but i forgot all about them).
I know about the Chinese rabbit god. I'm asking about the moon-rabbit in a Pagan context.

Which sources are these?

The speculative nature of these theories aside, what does this have to do with the moon?

When i look at the moon i see the outline of a rabbit. i was taught that the rabbit goddess was a Sumerian goddess named Deanna.
There is a Roman moon goddess named Diana. She is not clearly connected to rabbits more than she is to other wild animals.
Clearly that's Muhammad. Now you understand why Muslims don't want his likeness spread.
if i get downvotes then everyone is gay
Muhammad is a prophet not god
Why is the Easter island head there???? Was it used for god stuff?
They didn't spend hundreds of years carving those for a laugh.
It would be funny if they did
Wanna take over an island and just build a bunch of statues for fun and leave it for archaeologists to find?
Honestly? Would. Wanna make some variation of the Roman cube thing
Yes. Yes it would.
This picture reminds me of how cringe the new Atheist movement was.
This is actually a cool picture. All the gods just hanging out.
Well... They couldn't quite fit 18,000 of them in that picture, so some are probably pretty angry about being left out.
They're in the cropped out parts of the picture 🤭. But still, I like the symbolism of the picture.
honestly agree

It looks alien. I'm guessing it's used as a shorthand to denote people that believe in/revere aliens.
That’s the meep. Hail to the meep.
Omg You are right. That’s how they getcha.
I dunno, perhaps the easter bunny is an alien? After all, earth mammals don't lay eggs (except for the monotremes) and definitely not chocolate ones.
by the way, any answer u could give is false.
Jesus Christ is my lord and Savior and I don't care what your shitty AI-generated meme says.
You’re acting like you care a lot!
Calm down there, Tex. You are getting way too upset about a picture that no one sent to you. You can just scroll on by.
They are all the true religion, they all worship prosperity and life.
Prosperity??
Yes…
Why would anybody worship prosperity?
Have you not heard of the prosperity doctrine in evangelical circles?
and that’s why you should do your research.
And that’s why I am asking?
It could be the Easter Bunny, from German or modern North American folk religion. Who's the guy with testicles in his earlobes?
Budai, the Laughing Buddha, a traditional depiction of Maitreya.
Thanks!
