Florida Court Sets Atheist Holy Day \

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAYI
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter andPassover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case againstChristians, Jews and observances of their holy days.
The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognizeddays. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionatepresentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,"Casedismissed!"
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 myclient and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you d o. 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 noGod, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court isadjourned.
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!This is too good not to forward.
