Althiest's in Fla Get their Own HOLIDAY!! LOL
This is too funny...but true.This is courtesy of Connie Hooper, a lady, who works for the judicial system in Florida .
In Florida , an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared, 'Case dismissed!'The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said,'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 even know about, much less celebrate his own atheists' holiday!' The lawyer pompously said, 'Your Honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be,Your Honor?'
The judge said, 'Well it comes every year on exactly the same date---April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'
Thus, in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture, he is a fool, and April 1st is his holiday! Now have a good day and get out of my courtroom!!

The judge said, "Well the Christians stole all their holidays from the Pagans." -

Not true -- just another urban legend.that's been around since at least 2003. -
raves Oct 12, 2008 02:15AM GMTsnopes my dear isn't always right...
But who cares...It was funny -
raves +1 Oct 14, 2008 09:08PM GMTJust about always -- often enough to trust what they say.
And I care because you didn't post it as a joke; you believed it. You also think it's fun to call agnostics fools. -
raves -1 Oct 15, 2008 01:50AM GMT (edited)Your a friggin nutbag...Its my blog I can post what the hell I want..If it was a Christian joke you would be laughing your stupid ass off tho right?
-
raves Oct 15, 2008 10:04PM GMTNot necessarily -- I'm not much for the mean school of comedy, whomever the joke might prick. But I really do feel you thought it was real, not a joke, and it's that which I mostly object to. Obviously, you can say whatever you please, including spreading around false information or calling me a nutbag for disagreeing with you.

raves Oct 15, 2008 10:43PM GMTSeems you can't leave it alone whether its a joke or not..the Point is it was funny to me..Take that as insult or just be human and laugh it off..It's your choice.

raves +1 posted Oct 11, 2008 08:02PM GMTas an agnostic that deeply offends me and hurts my feelings, joking, thats kind of funny I guess, pretty stupid, too quote scriptures to prove a point but still kind of funny
