FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
Nov 2nd, 2008, 8:48am
 

   
In   Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter & Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews & observances of their holy days.  The argument was it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized day(s).  
 
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 & others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur & Hanukkah. Yet my client & 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 Fools 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. Grin

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

They have December 14th: Agnostica.
It was on this day that Bohr proved his theory of the Quatum, and thus sub atomic Physics was born.
