OT: HUMOR - FL COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

[Pete44ru]

In Florida , an atheist created a case against the Easter & Passover holy days.
He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews & observances of their holy days.
The argument was it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized day.

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 atheist's lawyer immediately stood, objecting to the ruling, saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter & others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur & Hanukkah. Yet my client & all other atheists have no such holidays."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Counsel, your client is woefully ignorant."

The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."

The judge told the lawyer: "Psalm 14:1 states 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' The calendar says April 1st is 'April Fools Day.' 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."

That's kind of like the atheist who died on the way to a black tie party. When the paramedics declared him DOA, one asked what religion he was.

Upon being told the man was an atheist, the paramedic looked at dead man in his tuxedo and said "What a shame! All dressed up and no place to go..."

Actually, they have a place to go. I hope they like warm weather...
