Atheist Holiday
So I have been absent from this blog for a little bit, my nights have been taken up with training at Undisputed thus making it difficult to write quite as often. Today I wanted to share a little forward I got that I found quite amusing. But first things first, if ya'all could keep my Dad(Mike Shrout) in your prayers as he is on a missions trip in India. Okay, now since it won't let me copy/past onto the startup post, I am going to post a comment on this blog containing the forward, interesting legal situation in Florida:

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.
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
