FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

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, 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."

Neat story. Probably not true.

Seams reasonable though. Christmas is a nationally recognized religious holiday. Maybe the athiests should have one too, because even though they choose not to believe in God, their lack of belief is a belief. Their refusal to accept any religious belief system is a belief system. Their lack of a choice is a choice.

If the Christian is wrong, then the result is what the athiest believes: his dead body will go to the ground - end of story. If the athiest is wrong...
