Something else to blame religion for. In many religions, including Christianity, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God's right side. God's left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. The Archangel Gabriel is sometimes called "God's left hand", sits at God's left side, and is one of six angels of death. Those who fall from favor with God are sent to left, as described in Matthew 25: 32–33, in which sheep represent the righteous and goats represent the fallen: "And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right, but the goats on his left." In 19th-century Europe, homosexuals were referred to as "left-handed".[9] In Protestant-majority parts of the United Kingdom, Catholics were called "left-footers", and vice versa in Catholic-majority parts of Ireland and Irish America.[10] Black magic is sometimes referred to as the "left-hand path", which is strongly associated with Satanism. This all goes back to the nomads, who ate with the right hand and wiped their arses with the left. So if you were born left handed, you were of course cursed by Satan. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Why didn't the left-handed nomads eat with their left hands and wipe with the right? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I don't think it 'all goes back to the nomads' for the right and left handed thing, but as far as it goes, the idea is in the desert you often don't have enough water - you have to conserve it for drinking. So it became a social thing that, without having to ask, you knew a person's right hand was reasonably clean and to be polite you can't be seen eating, especially, with your left hand.

Personally, I have always questioned that idea. Eating with your fingers does not require a lot of coordination, so it seems to me that even left handed people could easily eat with their right hand. I mean, I could easily scoop rice out of a bowl with my left hand. |

It became a custom, you never ever ate with your left hand. It just wasn't done, and eventually turned into everything the right hand and left hand means in the Bible. Right hand good, godly. Left hand bad, of the devil. Born left handed, better change it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | interesting you tube unedited footage of Guatemala volcano including pyroclastic flow . This pyro flow has done most of the killing some say, 69 at least. On the link I have the footage start shows where people were watching a pyro flow unaware that it could climb up from the valley and shoot over them. I gather we are seeing some lucky people escape where not far away others were killed. Forget lava flow, it is this pyroclastic flow moving so fast that has the highest potential for danger, it can be as hot as the lava, look it up. https://youtu.be/4SEBuHOfoRk?t=135 I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
