FLORIDA ATHEIST

I found this to be rather amusing ...

---------------------------------

A Florida atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about discriminations inflicted on atheists by constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays, while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.

After listening to the long, passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared, "Case dismissed!" The lawyer immediately stood, 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 the Passover, Yom Kippur, 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 replied, "Well it comes every year, exactly the same day, April 1st!

Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April Fools' Day,' consider Psalm 14:1 & Psalm 53, '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, thus April 1st is his holiday!"
