A thought to ponder
An atheist was quite incensed over the preparation for Easter and
Passover holidays and decided to contact the local ACLU about the
discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations
afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while the
atheists had no holidays for them to celebrate.
The ACLU jumped on the opportunity to once again pick up the cause of
the downtrodden and assigned their sharpest attorney to the case.
The case was brought up before a learned judge who after listening to
the passionate presentation by the ACLU representative, promptly banged
his gavel and said "Case dismissed!"
The ACLU lawyer stood up and objected to the ruling. He said, "Your
honor, how can you dismiss this case? Surely the Christians have
Christmas, Easter and many other observances. And the Jews - why in
addition to Passover, they have Yom Kippur and Hanukkah.....and yet my
client and all other atheists have no such holiday!"
The judge leaned back in his chair and simply said "Obviously your
client is too confused to know about or for that matter even celebrate
the atheists holiday!"
The ACLU lawyer pompously said "We are aware of no such holiday for
atheists--just when might that be?"
The judge said "Well it comes every year at the same time --- April
1st"!
"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God."
Psalm 53:1, Psalm 14:1
