Atheists' Holiday

[Ric]

An atheist was quite incensed over the preparation for
Easter and Passover holidays and decided to contact the
local ACLU about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by
the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews
with all their holidays while the atheists had no holidays
for them to celebrate.

The ACLU jumped on the opportunity to once again pick up the
cause of the downtrodden and assigned their sharpest
attorney to the case.

The case was brought up before a learned judge who, after
listening to the passionate presentation by the ACLU
representative, promptly banged his gavel and said, "Case
dismissed!"

The ACLU lawyer stood up and objected to the ruling and
said, "Your honor, how can you dismiss this case? Surely the
Christians have Christmas, Easter, and many other
observances. And the Jews--why, in addition to Passover,
they have Yom Kippur and Hanukkah ... and yet my client and
all other atheists have no such holiday!"

The judge leaned back in his chair and simply said,
"Obviously your client is too confused to know about or for
that matter even celebrate the atheists' holiday!"

The ACLU lawyer pompously said, "We are aware of no such
holiday for atheists--just when might that be?"

The judge said "Well, it comes every year at the same
time--April 1st!"

[lawtonfogle]

Eh, basically it is calling all Atheist fools. Doesn't the Bible say somewhere else that calling someone a fool will get you sent to Hell?

 

[soul_on_fire]

so it's sort of a good thing that i don't get it?

The joke has to do with Psalm 14:1. The fool hath said in his heart there is no God. And April 1st is fools day.

(The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.) They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalm 14:1

I do believe so. And what about the roots of April Fools day? It was the pagan date for the start of the new year and Christians called those who still celebrated that PAGAN holiday fools.

Now what does that make those calling it an athiest holiday?

Note I didn't say it, just pointed out hte facts leading to a conclusion.
