    Default Athiest Holy Day - NWS

    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.

    though this is totally funny this is hilarious problem here in the US. you can have freedom of religion only extends to Christianity

    Observance of religious holidays by gov/state should be privilege to those who schedule to have it off not a national holiday. this is much like black history month - wtf

    True, but the foundation of this country is Christianity (hope i'm right). Easter really isn't a working holiday due to it falling two days after Good Friday, which makes it on Sunday. Christmas on the other hand is self explanatory.

    I am not sure how Jewish holidays work. As far as Black History month goes, well, I don't like the notion of naming it. I respect it, but I wish we could all blend it in with regular education and give recognition to those of deserve it. Sadly, that shit will never happen.....so I love the month!

    they came here to escape religious persecution and were christian but that doesn't mean 200+ years later we should follow the path of our fathers. these same people also raped, killed, and stole the lands from the Indians as well as burned people at the stake for being a witch .

    GKtib® I never said people took off for it but observing holidays like such at a national level is retarded.

    I was only stating the reasoning behind it. Hence why I follow my "born into" religion, but I question certain bible beaters and extremist. Lots of people are loons, but its worse if you use religion as ur "stoopid" crutch.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    You get off work for MLK day? fucking lame. You're not even black. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

    The US wasn't necessarily founded on Christianity, a few of the founding fathers happened to be deist/atheist/agnostic Good luck ever finding that out in history class. You could say it was founded on the basis of Christian moral laws, but what decent human being doesn't abide by them already? This nation was founded on strong belief in secularism and freedom of expression, whether you happen to be Buddhist, Satanic, or even a Scientologist(lo-fuckin-l).

    I am essentially atheist, still working it out, but I really don't give two shits whether or not we get a holiday. I'd prefer getting Christmas presents, it's much more satisfying. The only thing I would like to see is TOLERANCE for our beliefs.

    Ah, I learned something, thanks. Thats why I put in there "hope I'm right". I was unsure of the complete explanation, then in school of course you are spoon fed stuff, lol. That's why I could never understand slavery and abuse of another human. Which FURTHER let me question religion as a whole. Having an uncle who is a pastor makes for interesting family events.

    Research time!
