It was just an example of how literal you can take a text, regardless the origin of the text.

I wonder what it really say btw, because in French "you shall not murder" is translated as "tu ne tuera point", which itself translate as "you shall not kill". So war not being murder doesn't hold with this translation. I wonder what was the original meaning.

"Having faith" that the bridge will not fall, implies that the bridge itself isn't that trustworthy. It's not that different from "I pray that the bridge will hold my weight."

I find it amusingly ironic that my religion teacher used to bicker on the meaning of a word in the bible when the translation is that unreliable. Of course, most concept and undertone are bound to have changed. Several time. During the Long time that book was being written.
 
Unrelated : if someone still ignore i here, the coran can be counted as the last tome. So ... yeah. If god is real, he just LOVE irony.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

You do know that the US is not officially a theocratic nation, right?  Somewhere along the lines the religious folks squeezed in some language here and there (ie: Dollar Bills, Pledge of Allegiance, Monuments ... besides the monuments, these things never had "God" in them until they were inserted by some religious nut.)

I don't know, there are just some parts of the English language I do not agree with, such as fiddling.

Vesicle is another of these words.

Vesicle comes from Latin. Most of English is hacked together from other historic languages.
