Atheist Holy Day by Edalv: 3:21pm On Dec 09, 2009
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 and 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." ;

You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!

Lack of believe in the God that created them.

though that was silly, the atheists have no special day and why compel the court to give one. and on the judge's judgement, he allowed his personal convictions to get over his work. thus he could as well have an unfavourable attitude towards a muslim or Jew

probably because most of them, like you, have no idea what an atheist actually is. It really isnt just a collection of folks angry at Jesus (CFAJ).

Kay 17 - In many ways you remind me of the gentleman on this forum who goes about under the pseudonym - "Atheists."

That gentleman is the least engaaging of all the "Atheists" on this forum.

I will like to know what you are in fact -

  1. An atheist

  2. An agnostic

In doing so please answer for me these questions -

  1. What is Atheism?

  2. What is agnosticism?

  3. What do these mean to you in your personal life?

Please do not consult a dictionary or wikipedia, just answer off the top of your head. Thanks.

religion is the major cause of unnecessary conflict around the world. there is this osama guy that wants to convert the whole world to his Islam, also this judge, his intolerance blinded him to the status of his profession as a judge who expected be impartial in dispensing justice and by this example, he didn't.  though the atheist had a frivolous case, the judge's intolerance would inadvertently reflect on every case he handles.

Stalin, Hitler, Burundi, Angola, Congo, Rwanda, Iraq, North Korea, Pol Pot . . .

Yeah religion is the major cause of unecessary conflict around the world. And i'd wager christianity, hinduism or scientology is causing conflict where exactly?

You are the fools and ignorant.

For one no atheist would go reclaiming for a HOLY day. You guys have no idea what atheism is all about and I am not surprised. You don't even know a damn about your own religion talkless of knowing why others despise it so much.

Anyways I am reporting this thread for insulting a whole group of people because of what they don't believe in. You are free to call your family members fools but I am not your mother or sister for you to insult me.
Re: Atheist Holy Day by manmustwac(m): 8:55pm On Dec 09, 2009
An athiest dose not believe in any god so theres no point in going to any court to fight for Athiest recognised Holy holidays. Whats Holy about being an Athiest We're not religious so the joke dosen't make sense.

1. We know what atheism is about - a cowardly way of refusing to take moral responsibility for your life.

2. We know why you "despise" christianity . . . (funny since none of you ever despises islam, scientology or sango worshipers) its because you hate the moral discipline it forces on you. It has nothing to do with what christianity has done to you.

  davidylan, is an ill-informed foool, why are you on this thread? i has dawned on me that davidylan is the most ignorant and blind member of nl. you ask what religious conflict was in kashmir, you wonder what religious conflict was in northern ireland?, a nigerian surprised that there is religious clashes in nigeria? all the suicide bombing and hostage taking in Russia, suicide-bombing in Iraq and Afghanistan, and you ask what relevance time as to it, Stalin and Hitler committed atrocities in the 20th century. besides the Catholic Church supported Hitler because, it felt Bolsheviks were servants of the Devil. Denouncing Hitler, would have saved the 18 million Russians and 6 million Jews.   GUY, GO TO SCHOOL AND READ A LOT OF NEWSPAPERS!   the mass murder can not be cleansed by time.

1. We know what atheism is about - a cowardly way of refusing to take moral responsibility for your life.

Sorry you don't know anything at all. Where is your evidence to show that christians take more moral responsibility for their lives better than atheist? The best law abiding countries with the lowest crimes, lowest corruption, equality of sexes, highest life expectancy and best social systems in the world to day happen to be atheist countries(Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherland). Can you compare the moral responsibility that is obtainable in a country like Sweden where about 90% of its population are atheist to southern Nigeria where a mojority of the populace are Christians? You are truly a deluded person.

2. We know why you "despise" christianity . . . (funny since none of you ever despises islam, scientology or sango worshipers) its because you hate the moral discipline it forces on you.  It has nothing to do with what christianity has done to you.

Mazaje, Tudor, bindex, Huxley etc. Do these name sound like people that Honour Islam? . Your are really trying too hard, What is the moral discipline that Christianity forces on people? You don't have a higher moral credibility than any atheist here and that is a FACT. Where is your evidence to show that Christians have more moral values or crediblity than atheist? A look around the world says that you do not know what you are talking about. Some times I wonder why people come on the internet only to keep embarassing themselves all the time.
