A Brilliant 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 presen tation 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 know
about, or to celebrate the atheists' holiday!"
The lawyer pompously said; "We're 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!" "The fool says in his
heart, 'There is no God.' " Psalm 14:1, Psalm
53
