Atheist's Holiday

As told to me by......

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? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur, 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 'Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states 'The fool says in his heart there is no God' then in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture he is a fool, thus April lst is his holiday!"

(My kinda' Judge. May this story encourage us to pray for our judges, many who have gone astray  abusing their authority. E.G. Recent California Supreme Court decision which arbitrarily overruled the vote of people.)

You've heard it said: "A government by the people..." Allow me to caution: Only if you vote responsibily!
