FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
Submitted by Johnnie M.
 
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.."
