God smiles on the athiest

Right in the heart of Mormon country

Cincinnati Enquirer News Service 4/12/03
SALT LAKE CITY- An atheist who sought to pray in City Council meetings “for deliverance from weak and stupid politicians” got the blessing of the Utah Supreme Court on Friday.

The court ruled that if officials in Murray, Utah, want to pray during government-sponsored events, the opportunity to pray must be equally accessible to all who ask.

The Supreme Court’s 4-1 ruling reversed the dismissal of a lawsuit that Tom Snyder, 71, filed in state court in 1999.

“Thanks to the Supreme Court for reaffirming that constitutional protection,” Snyder said. "There should be no government preference for one religion over another or a preference for religion over non-religion.”

 

So who does a atheist pray to...seems like one of them oxymorons to me.

An atheist was fishing in a small boat on Loch Ness when
suddenly the legendary monster surfaced and charged towards
the tiny craft. As the monster reared its head, ready to strike
and devour the atheist, he screamed, "Oh God! Please help
me!"

A voice thundered down from the heavens. "You say that I
don't exist. Why do you call me for help?"

"Give me a freakin' break, God! Five minutes ago I didn't
believe in the Loch Ness monster, either!"

 

Cool...
