In Florida , an atheist created a case against the Upcoming
Easter and Passover 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 , "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.
This was reported by snopes as false...but a good read never the less!
