FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY - If only

I know I know, this is fiction, but it was still
cute and gave something to think about http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/a/atheistholiday.htm
FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY 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, Jews and observances of their holy days.
The case was brought before a judge. The argument was that
it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.
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 observanceor 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!
