FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy
days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and
observances of their holy days.
The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The
case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the
lawyer, the judge banged his gavel
declaring,"Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how
can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The
Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and
Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays. "
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel,
is woefully ignorant. " The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any
special observance or holiday for atheists. "
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1
states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God. ' Thus, it is the opinion of this
court, that if your client says there is no God,
then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned.
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
