>>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!
