>I tried a bit of sculpting in sixth grade, but didn't really make any birds, clouds or asteroids (or steroids, for that matter). There were unindentifiable lumps of clay that may have resembled some asteroids, but 1) I didn't consider them finished, 2) it was unintentional and 3) even if you find the asteroid, I don't have these lumps anymore, can't prove anything.

Unless God looks like a poorly formed ashtray, I'm ok on this one too.

No. War's ok. I think maybe that's why they changed it from 'Thou shalt not kill' to 'Thou shalt not murder'. I think in this context, war is not considered to be 'murder'. A fine point, I admit, and certainly an issue of pragmatism over moralism, but there you go.
