FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
In Florida , an atheist brought a suit against the upcoming Easter & Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination suit against Christians & Jews, and the observance of their holy days. The argument was: "it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized day(s)".
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 & others. The Jews have Passover, Hanukkah & others. Yet my client & 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; "Psalm 14:1 states, The fool says in his heart, there is no GOD". "The calendar designates April 1st as April Fools Day". Thus, it is the opinion of this court, "if your client says there is no God, he is a fool". "Therefore, April 1st is his day".
Court is adjourned!
