Have you heard about this case? Great answer from the judge!
In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation of 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 wise 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, Psalm 53 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, thus April 1st is his holiday! Get it?"
PRAY THAT SOME DAY OUR COURTS WILL BE FULL OF THIS KIND OF
JUDGE......MAYBE THEN, WE CAN PUT GOD BACK WHERE HE BELONGS ---
IN EVERYTHING WE DO...
Way to go, Judge! |
