Court sets Athiest Holiday

I missed this news last week.

Have you heard about this case? In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged
his gavel and declared, 'Case dismissed!'

The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling
and said, 'Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The
Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews
have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah... Yet my client and all other
atheists have no such holiday!'

The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said,
'Obviously your client is too confused to even know about, much less
celebrate his own atheists' holiday!'

The lawyer pompously said, 'Your Honor, we are unaware of any such
holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be, your Honor?'
The judge said, 'Well it comes every year on exactly the
same date---April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April
Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his
heart, there is no God.' Thus, in my opinion, if your client says
there is no God, then by scripture, he is a fool, and April 1st is his
holiday!
Now have a good day and get out of my courtroom!!!
