Because they research their claims. You don't. I did not take it seriously but I am not fool enough to try to discredit it without personally researching the
Florida court records.
No, you're fool enough to believe it even though it's written like fiction and entirely unverifiable. If you didn't take it seriously, you wouldn't be so enthusiastic about attacking those who are bright enough to know an urban legend when they see it.

A lawsuit because of what? Reporting on a lawsuit? Because reporting on lawsuits is so terribly forbidden in the USA.

We atheists really just want a single day out of the year so we can do those things which are most important to us:
1. Eating kittens
2. Robbing liquor stores
3. Tripping old ladies trying to cross the street
4. Burning flags
5. Enjoying really sweet desserts
6. Checking Lexis-Nexis for Florida court cases.
Is it too much to ask for just one day outta the year? I mean, really! |

What?
Noe sexual depravity? 
What about Darwin's birthday, or the date of Origin's published date?
My fave atheist holiday is Newton day, when we celebrate the birth of one of the greatest minds to have ever lived (except for his religious beliefs, of course!)

I try to do that every day, so I don't need a holiday for it.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare the soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay with courage to behold restless day, and count it fair.

Sorry AV, this has been taken already.
Just google 'Archbishop of Canterbury' and you'll see he needs a day all to himself, how apt it is named after him as well.
Mind you, thought the pope comes a close second after his christmas day exorcism rant.......
