Atheist’s Holiday–Psalm 14:1

From my friend Michelle. Hint: The judge’s answer is priceless!

In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation for 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. The 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 atheist’s 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 1! Since our calendar sets April 1st as ‘April Fools 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!”

That about sums up are disgustingly secular society these days, doesn’t it?
