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 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? The 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 holiday!'
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 Fool's Day,' consider that
Psalm 14:1 states,
'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, and April
1st is his holiday! Now have a good day and get out of my
courtroom!
