Atheist holiday

This is a joke that was e-mailed to me, so I had to post it here because it cracked me up!



In Florida , an atheist created a case against the
upcoming Easter & Passover holy days. He hired an
attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews &
observances of their holy days. The argument was it was unfair that atheists
had no such recognized day(s).





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 saying, 'Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case?
The Christians have
Christmas, Easter & others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur & Hanukkah. Yet my client & 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.
