In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter & Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews observances of their holy days. The argument was 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 declaring, 'Case dismissed.'
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, 'You honor, how you can possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter & others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur &Hanukkah. Yet my client & 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.
