FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY:

Have to chuckle at this one !!!

In Florida, an atheist created a case against the 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 it was unfair that
atheists had no such recognized day.

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. Counsel, your client 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."
