Anti-Atheistic Hogwash

Atheist Holiday Court Ruling: This is courtesy of Connie Hooper, a lady who works for the judicial system in Florida. Have you heard about this case? Great answer from the judge! In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared, 'Case dismissed!' The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, 'Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah ... 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 even know about, much less celebrate his own atheists' holiday!' The lawyer pompously said, 'Your Honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists, just when might that holiday be, your Honor?' The judge said, 'Well, it comes every year on exactly the same date--April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture, he is a fool, and April 1st is his holiday. Now have a good day and get out of my courtroom!" Wow, truly a nice fairy tale from Connie Hooper, a religious tuti-frutie who works for the judicial system of Florida. Sadly for her, she is not aware that the judge in this case is typical of the religious morons who are even more confused. with so little knowledge of bible contents. “The fool had said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 15:1. The same words are repeated in Psalm 53:1. Well, Psalm is in the Old testament and since you Christians revere more the New Testament, you should read Matthew 5:22 which says: . . .”Whosoever shall say Thou fool, shall be in danger of hellfire.” The judge in the above-mentioned case put himself in danger of going to hell. My dear reader, we atheists have no dogmas, no pigma, no hogma, no rituals, no gods, no angels, no devils, no priests, no worship, no prayers, no holy places, and no holy books. Now you expect us to believe that we atheists need to celebrate a holiday too? And get it legalized to boot? Everyday of the year is already a joy for us, especially as we daily celebrate the power of ideas under freedom of thought. There is nothing quite like in all of nature. The fool says there is no God. We, the wise, say it to the world. In the meantime, religion encourages the silly fixity of credibility at a price paid dearly: - the mindless surrender of the self via the mutilation of self-respect and human dignity. In the ultimate analysis, if there is hope for lasting peace in this world, it will be due to more and more people realizing that religion at best is a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony; and at worst a source of prejudice, intolerance, conflict, insanity, and everlasting stupidity.
