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 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? The Christians
have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have
Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah...yet my client and all other
atheists have no such holiday!"
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 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, and April 1st
is his holiday! Now have a good day and get out of my
courtroom!!"
