Florida court sets atheist holy day!

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 Fool's 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 no God, Then
he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day.

Court is adjourned.

Athiest Holiday: It exists

One's BIRTHDAY.

Satanists like it as a holiday too!

The problem, of course, is not really the time off but the inability to receive more presents outside of one's birthday.

I mean, you get, what, anniversary presents?

Atheists can't use the calendar.

It was a Christian invention.

Papist, no less.

The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today.

etc.

I think I'm okay.

I got a free trigger lock for the .38 special from the sheriff in the next county.
