ATHEIST AND APRIL FOOL’S DAY
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following
article came to me
recently and I
contended that I
should pass it on.
It has been slightly
edited and a
conclusion added.
An atheist was quite
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
holidays for them to
celebrate.
The ACLU jumped on
the opportunity to
once again pick up
the cause of the
downtrodden and
assigned their
sharpest attorney to
the case.
The case was brought
up before a learned
judge who after
listening to the
passionate
presentation by the
ACLU representative,
promptly banged his
gavel and said "Case
dismissed!"
The ACLU lawyer
stood up and
objected to the
ruling and said
"Your honor, how can
you 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
back 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?"
The judge said,
"Well it comes every
year at the same
time ----- April
1st" "The fool says
in his heart, 'There
is no God.'" - Psalm
14:1, Psalm 53:1
Plainly, don’t get
short changed. Let’s
be ready to meet our
Maker. The Bible
teaches in the Book
of Acts that to
avoid hell and gain
heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus
As Savior (16:31) 2)
Repent Of Sins
(17:30)
3) Confess Christ
Audibly (8:37) 4) Be
Baptized In Water
(2:38)
5) Live A Christian
Life (14:22) 6) Be
Active In the Church
(2:47)
