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 & observances of their holy days. The argument was: it is unfair that atheists had no such recognized day(s).
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 & 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. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.’
The lawyer said, ‘Your Honor, w e are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.’
The judge said, ‘The calendar says April 1st is ‘April Fools 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.
Michael Newdow makes me wish this were an Aztec nation rather than a Christian nation. If you know what I mean and I think you do.
Poor radical atheists..they just believe soooooo very hard that God does not exist. But if He does not exist why go through all the trouble and effort to have Him removed? Santa Claus would be a much easier target dontchyaknow...

Unbelievable. Courts won’t address the legitimacy of the person elected to be POTUS, but will allow this hogwash to be dealt with. What upside down priorities.
In Montana they have crosses up for anyone who is killed in an auto accident.
He'd offer himself up for human sacrifice?
You mean he’d have a choice?
[evil grin]
I guess not!
