FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
In Florida , an atheist created a case against Easter and Passover Holy
days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against
Christians and 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 Fool's 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!
