In Abuja, An Atheist brought up a case against
the upcoming Christmas Holiday. He hired a
Lawyer to bring a discrimination case against
Christians and Muslims concerning observation
of their Holy Days. The Argument was that it was
unfair that Atheists had no such recognised
days. The case was brought before (The Judge)
Akpos. After listening to the passionate
presentation by the Lawyer, the Judge banged
his gavel declaring; "Case Dismissed". The
Lawyer quickly stood up, objecting to the ruling
and said; Your honour, how can you possibly
dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas,
Easter and Others. The Muslims have Id-el-
kabir, Id-el-fitri and Others. But my client and
other Atheists have no such holidays. (The
Judge) Akpos leaned forward in his chair and
said; Your client and other Atheists have. Is just
that your client is woefully ignorant. The Lawyer
said; Your honour, we are unaware of any
special observance or holiday for Atheists. (The
Judge) Akpos said; The Calendar says April 1st
is April Fools day. Psalm 14 verse 1 says, The
fool says in his heart, there is no God. 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.
