Have you heard about this court case?
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?
Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other
observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and
Hanukah......yet my client and all other atheists have no
such holidays."
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 Fools'
Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53 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, thus April 1st is his holiday!"
Pray that someday our courts will be full of these kinds of
judges.....maybe then, we can put God back where He
belongs.........in everything we do.....
Way to go, Judge!
