Is This for Real?

Holiday Ruling

A good parable:

An atheist  created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days.  He hired an attorney to bring a  discrimination case against Christians and 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.”

You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
