Subject: FW: Court Sets Atheist Holy Day
This is about as good as it gets
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 day(s).
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the
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 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 and said, '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.
Thank You,
