    Question: Can I read my Bible in school to my self in class?

    I don't think that this is the right place for people to preach, either. This is not the place to tell people that Jesus is important, because it might not be important to everyone. Christianity is NOT the only religion in the United states, no matter what the government or the president thinks. but reading the bible is no big deal as long as it bothers noone around you, but the same goes for every other religious book.

    Marco, I know for a fact that your teacher is wrong for telling people that it needs to stay at chruch for whatever reason, and you need to realize that just because someone is reading their Bible in class doesn't mean that he/she is trying to convert other classmates. I am a strong believer in God and I read my Bible in class at times and I know none of my classmates have a problem with it. Thanks for understanding
