Religion and Left-Handedness?

Question

If christians are so nice and caring and blah blah blah, then why did i get my knuckles smack with a ruler when I wrote with my left hand in grade school?  Why couldnt I get higher than a "C" grade even though I had great penmanship?Do you think that the nuns in my catholic grade school are evil for doing that?  and they are married to jesus!!  lmao!!  
(raised catholic, now normal, i mean atheist).....

Stop pushing your southpaw agenda on us! You chose to write with your left hand and you deserve what is coming to you.

I am always fascinated at the similarities between the old christian rejection of lefties and the modern rejection of homosexuals.

I'll go to hell with you, I am a southpaw.

Im left handed and don't feel evil in any way... actually I do feel a little evil when eating next to someone who is right handed.  Our elbows keep bumping and I just laugh... Oh, and whenever I write in my notebook my hand smears the pencil... except when I'm writing in hebrew, which is written left to right

I'm a proud left-handed Christian - never got my knuckles rapped or told I was using the wrong hand by anyone. 

In fact the Christian university I went to provided 10% left handed desks in all it's lecture halls and class roooms!

Left-handed path generally refers to harming others or being selfish.  It used to be common practice to try to "correct" left handedness.  I'm glad to hear that you are now normal... I mean atheist! LOL!

I am shocked--SHOCKED--to hear that religious groups fear people who are not like them.



As if there's anything "sinister" about the left hand.
