Morality DID NOT come from the Bible. Morality is a product of collective human experience. It existed and exists independently of any books.

What does morality coming from the Bible have to do with whether the Bible is still around. As long as there are people who have not heard the word of God, and that includes the people who are not even born yet, then there will always be the Bible. The Bible has been around since God's spirit gave the first writer inspiration, and it will be around until the end of life as we know it.

The bible is for the 144,000 - not the billions of Christians.
Yes - Morality comes from the scriptures - but; the world does not follow them, that is why the scriptures are still around ... nobody uses them except to catch dust.
It is a constant reminder to all whom own one - that they do not live by any word of it - all preachers teach the laws cannot be kept ... so - they are but reminders of what a person could be if the bindings on the book were cracked and the contents heeded.
Did this answer you some part of the way?

Morality (from the latin moralitis, meaning proper behavior) isn't really something monopolized by the Bible or any other specific book or religion or specific culture. Every culture on earth is moral-- none are particularly amoral or immoral, because all cultures adhere to their own specific morality.
Although many Christians may believe that, for instance, promiscuous sex is immoral, there are cultures that have no particular opinion on the morality of promiscuous sex or who believe it to be, even, a thing worth encouraging.
Basically, morality is a universal byproduct of humans rationalizing human behavior.

Because people tend to forget what it says and why and ask questions like 'why is there still a Bible?'

Maybe morality and the Bible just share a common ancestor.

Morality did not come from the Bible, it came from the creator YHVH.

Morality has several sources, including religion and philosophy. In terms of religion, I believe all roads lead to Rome, especially the Big Four-- Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, and Hinduism (not in any order). All religions are cornerstones of human civilization. Those who believe Jesus is the only way, please tell me where I can find an one-legged table and explain to me please why the Christian countries have the world's highest crime rates, divorce rates, and teenager pregnancy rates. I'm a Christian, but it doesn't mean I am blind.
