Thus the notion of "good-believers"... It make perfect sense, in fact, when I was in Catholic school during my primary years way back, there is Bible lessons and there's mores lessons: the former is the teaching of the religion (like the hierarchy of God and such, totally forgotten as they are no longer relevant to me as an Atheist) while the latter is the teaching of mores, where one should not be malicious as "Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you" etc etc. I have no problem with the Bible used as reference to the latter class, and the latter class in fact is necessary, Bible or no Bible, as many are indeed quite morally bankrupted. But teaching Bible for religious purposes in the public school system? If the current United States is a highly religious nation, I wouldn't want the next generation to be ENTIRELY religious via public eduation (be an amplified version of the current condition)... THAT would be disasterous...
How can you remodel the preachers' teachings when you claimed that the Bible is the word of God? My point is, if one can 'remodel' the teachings which are so-called based on the word of God in the first place; you are already admitting that the Bible is indeed not the word of God, right? Or perhaps you may also claim that those teachings were WRONGLY interpreted from the Bible? In that case, anyone can come up with their own 'teachings' and interpretation then.
