Athiest Holiday

[Coconut]

In Florida, an atheist became 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 holiday to celebrate.

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

The case was brought before a wise judge who after listening to the long, passionate presentation of the ACLU lawyers, promptly banged his gavel and declared, "Case dismissed!"

The lead ACLU lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, "Your honor, how can you possibly 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 forward 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, your honor?"

The judge said "Well it comes every year on exactly the same date---April 1st!"

Definitely the best joke I've heard in a very long time

Thank you very much for sharing. This one is classic, whoever wrote it.

Good Joke

Good Joke.


But my punchline would be for the Judge to say:

"Perhaps there are no atheistic Holidays because they have nothing to celebrate and that is not in the realm of the legal system to create one."


P.S. Unless you had gone to the Supreme Court with it over the last decade or so.

After all, if you don't believe in your Creator how is it possible for one to celebrate the created? (mind boggled)

Your Punchline was perfect, Coconut! I Greatly Appreciated it and I am convinced everyone did as well. If it hadn't been for the posting of your joke, I wouldn't have been inspirited.

That was very funny. Thank you for sharing.

I thought for sure the judge was gonna comment on how "holiday" is accually "HOLYday", and since the athiest doesn't believe in anything HOLY, he/she has no need for a day set aside to celebrate it. LOL

Atheists really have nothing concrete to offer on the subject of God's existence but there are a few who appear to enjoy saying nothing in as many words as they can, and as author C.S. Lewis once wrote:

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
