[BITList] FLORIDA JUDGE

[John Feltham]

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLiDAY


In  Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and  
Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination  
case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days.  
The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such  
recognised 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 saying, "Your  
honour, 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 Honour, 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."

You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture! SETS ATHEIST HOLiDAY
