Atheist Holiday
U.S. court case sets new Atheist Holiday…
In Florida, an atheist became
incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to
contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the
constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays
while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a wise judge. After listening to the long 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? Christians have Christmas, Easter and
many other observances. 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 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 said, “Well it comes every year on exactly the same date... April 1st.
Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April Fools Day,' consider Psalm 14:1 and
Psalm 53 which state, '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!”
