A Fool's Holiday
An atheistic lawyer in Florida created a case against the observance of the Easter holiday, and argued for a discrimination suit against Christians. The argumet was that is was unfair that atheists had no such recognized holiday. After listening to a passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel and dimsissed the case.
The lawyer objected, "Your honor, you can't rightly dismiss my case because it is a fact that we atheists have no recognized holiday."
The judge leaned forward at the bench saying, "Sir, you are woefully ignorant, for there is a holiday for atheists."
The lawyer asked, "How so, your honor?"
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is 'April Fool's Day', and Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this Court, that if you say there in no God, then you are a fool. Therefore April 1st is your holiday. Court adjourned!"
You gotta love a judge that knows the Scriptures! And thank God you know the Scriptures, and the Risen Lord of it!... Because He lives so shall you live! (John 14:19)
Should I say, "Happy April Fool's Day"? Nay, "Happy Easter".
