ATHEIST HOLY DAY - ( A MUST READ ) FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY!
In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. 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 and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and 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.

A wise judge indeed.

Of course, we know that this didn't actually occur. It's a joke created to express the futility of attempting to ban religion.
As a Christian, I thought I'd let that be known before the atheists begin screaming and gnashing their teeth.

And sometimes we even gnash our teeth. However, I do sense that there are very few Atheists here, just a lot of people who have studied Xianity and found it wanting. What it wants I do not know. I sense there are a lot of Neo-Pagans here, who really shouldn't mind Xian holidays as most of them are built upon the old Pagans holy days. But more importantly do we celebrate them, for instance, who here did service to others on MLK day? Hmmm.... I can't hear you.

I'm an Atheist,(well for the most part),
And have never had a problem with the religious holidays.

Gee, do you think? Im glad the Christians were here to clear that up for everyone else.

Im not an Atheist but if the federal goverment wants to give us religious holidays off, do you hear me complaining about that?

Quickstepper has posted this one a month ago. It seems to always reappear time over time.

I think if a nonbeliever would like to create a holiday then why not. A Atheist holiday for those who don't believe in a God isn't such a bad idea.

I am for it

If it ever becomes a public holiday, I doubt it, but again we can't predict the future.

Perhaps a icon similiar to Martin Luther King Jr. or Mahatma Ghandi who so happens to be a Atheist that did a big difference to peoples lives will get us a national holiday.

Come on Atheists Scientist do something spectacular that the world can astonish themselves with to vote that such a holiday could exist.

Sorry to steal your thunder...I know you'd have have prefered to set us all straight on this one, yourself...As you already know everything under the sun...

Well the joke is just a Christian's why of being snide is all. But why not? Christians aren't above being snide. In fact, they aren't above anything.

I know it will probably never happen in my lifetime, but I would like to see Halloween observed as a national holiday, where buisnesses are closed and people get the day off.


Howbout a holiday for agnostics??

One week paid agnostic holiday!

I am for that

Yepper

Agnostics can't decide whether they want to believe in a holiday or not.

Would it really be a holiday?

Can we prove that it's a holiday?

Or is it just a normal day that we have decided to PRETEND is a holiday?

If we can't determine for sure, then we're better off without the holiday.

Hahaha.

Touche...

And it is "Holi-Day" after all although whether or not that is a Christian holi-day is anyone’s guess. It would still cause Agnostics to feel unduly nervous and aprehensive. They don’t want to be placed into a position to have to acknowledge something if it can be avoided.

God wanted to have a holiday, so He asked St. Peter for suggestions on where to go.

"Why not go to Jupiter?", asked St Peter.

"No, too much gravity, too much stomping around," said God.

"Well, how about Mercury?"

"No, it's too hot there."

"Okay," said St. Peter, "How about Earth?"

"No," said God, "They're such horrible gossips. When I was there 2000 years ago, I had an affair with a Jewish woman, and they're still talking about it!" -Anonymous

Dang now that is a holiday.. Paid, wow!!
