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 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 a 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 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, and
April 1st is his holiday!"Now have a good day and get out of my
courtroom!!"#################################If Ted Kennedy really wants to help
Obama win the Democratic nomination,
why doesn't he just give Hillary a ride home?

Although the ACLU would quickly have that judge's head on a stick for such a thing ;)
Disbelieve in Santa Claus day? Why not? The kids really need another day off from school, don't they?
