Athiest Holiday

I got this in a Forward. No it's not true, but I thought it was funny :)



      

  FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
        In   Florida, an atheist created a case against 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 recognized 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 honor, 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 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..."

 You gotta love a Judge that knows his Scripture!
