In Florida, an atheist became
incensed over the preparation for Easter and Passover holidays and
decided to contact the local ACLU about the discrimination
inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to
Christians and Jews with all their holidays while the atheists had
no holiday to celebrate.
The ACLU jumped on the opportunity to once again pick up the cause
of the godless and assigned their sharpest attorneys to the case.
The case was brought before a wise judge who after listening to
the long, passionate presentation of the ACLU lawyers, promptly
banged his gavel and declared, "Case dismissed!"
The lead ACLU lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling
and said, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case?
Surely the Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other
observances. And the
Jews--why in addition to Passover they have Yom Kippur and
Hanukkah .and 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 know about, or for that matter,
even celebrate the atheists' holiday!"
The ACLU lawyer pompously said "We are aware of no such holiday
for atheists, just when might that be, your honor?"
The judge said "Well it comes every year on exactly the same
date---April 1st!"
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
- Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1
HOORAY FOR THIS JUDGE
— I am not too sure
this actually happened, but I thought it was fun enough to share. |
