An atheist became incensed over Christmas holiday preparations.
He filed a lawsuit about the constant celebrations given to Christians and Jews while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long, passionate presentation by the atheist’s lawyer, the judge banged his gavel and declared, “Case dismissed!”
The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling. “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, much less celebrate, his own atheist holiday!”
The lawyer pompously said, “Your honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be?”
The judge replied, “Well, it comes every year on exactly the same date. Psalm 14:1 states,
‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God.’ Thus, if your client says there is no God then,
according to the Bible, he is a fool. April Fool’s Day is his holiday. Now, get out of my courtroom!”
