An atheist was upset over preparations for Easter and Passover holidays and decided to contact his local ACLU. He cried discrimination because the constant celebrations of the Christians and Jews with all their holidays and holydays offended him while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
Leaping at the chance to once again spearhead the cause of the godless the ACLU assembled their best legal team and filed suit.
The judge, after listening to a long, passionate presentation of the ACLU lawyers, banged his gavel and announced, "Case dismissed!"
The head ACLU attorney immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? Surely you know, the Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. While the Jews observe Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah and yet my client and all other atheists have no holiday to celebrate!"
The judge leaned forward in his chair and said "Obviously your client is too confused to know about or for that matter even celebrate the atheists' holiday!"
The ACLU lawyer sneered pompously and 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!"
"The fool says in his heart, There is no God." - Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1
