FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

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 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 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!
