God just gave us ten commandments and we have thousands of laws. If we just turned back to God we would be far better off.
It is God that made us and not we ourselves. Psalm 100:3
The heavens declare the glory of God psalm 19:1
Those who believe are not condemned but those who believe not are condemned already. John 3:18
For God so loves us (mankind) that he sent Jesus to die for us and that whoevers believes on Jesus The Christ should not perish. Now that is love.
John 3:16

But you fail to realize OP that since not everyone believes in God, not everyone wants YOU'RE religion shoved down their throat. And if we evoked all our laws for only 10, some of which don't even have to do with morality, we would be very screwed as a society. Also, in my Jr. High I know for a fact that the bible among other religious texts were allowed to be checked out of the library. I'm assuming the same can be said for my current High School.

The Bible IS allowed in public schools. Students are free to read it during silent reading time, lunch, or recess. The Bible is in the school library. Many schools have Bible study groups that meet before or after school. Some high schools offer "The Bible as Literature" classes. The only thing that is not allow is for a teacher to stand up and read the Bible and say "this is the one true religion and if all you little kids don't believe it, you are going to hell."

I'll leave the bible in school part alone, since that has been covered nicely by other posters and get to the 'going back to the ten commandments' part. What makes you think we'd be better off with using the ten commandments as our base of law? Only two of the ten commandments are even close to being actual laws. How would keeping the sabbath day holy help us in society. Shall we imprison anyone who works on a Sunday, or just stone them? How do you judge if a child is honoring their mother and father? Should a daughter honor the father who is raping her? And don't forget adultery! Shall we stone the adulterers as well? Who's proof do we use? Would it be like a witch hunt, and if I don't like Sally I accuse her of adultery to get rid of her sorry butt?
Sorry, I don't like the idea of using ten commandments as our laws.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair (April 13, 1919 – September 29, 1995) was an American who founded American Atheists, was instrumental in removing God from our public schools in the 1960's. In 1963 the supreme court ruled in her favor 8-1 effectively removing the Bible and prayer from public schools. Before that the Bible could be found in most american public schools. Since this catastrophic ruling the morals of America have steadily decreased .Abortion,crime of all sorts, violence, divorce ,homosexuality, unwed mothers, sexually transmitted disease and etc have all increased dramatically. At the same time educational scores, marrige, church attendence, charitable giving and more have decreased.

The book itself is allowed to be brought in by individual students, but teachers can not preach anything during class. The students are free to pray on their own.
This is because public schools have different kinds of people. Tell me how you would feel if, as a christian, you were required to recite the q'uran or some wiccan pray? Wouldn't like it, would you? So why should all the other people who don't believe as you do, be forced to pray as you do?
THAT is why public school prayer is not allowed.

You can have the Bible in a public school. You can also have the Koran or any other religious book.
However, it cannot be taught in a public school. I agree with this. It's separation of church and state. Also, teaching the Bible would be unfair to people of other religions.
p.s. I'm Christian, but I don't think my beliefs should be forced upon others.

The presence of the Bible in the public schools would constitute government support of a relgion, and approach "establishment" of a religion, which is forbidden by the Constitution.

if we could go back to the ten commandments,the pledge of allegiance and the Lords prayer there would be less violence in schools it was only when people started taking these out that schools started having the guns brought in the morals taught in school today are strictly worldly
