FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAYI
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 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 noGod, then he is a fool.Therefore, April 1st is his day.
Court is adjourned.
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!

That's a good one. Is it an actual case? I wanted to send it to my Dad, but would like to verify its authenticity. Thanks

I got it in my email, and did not check it out with Snopes. Not sure where you would have to go to varify it. Just though it was good for a laugh and posted it.

Just looked it up... Snopes says "FALSE". It's a joke and nothing more.
