Theology Symbolization

I have seen many bible verses utilizing right and left as indicators of morality or lack therof. Is it correct then that left handed people are inherently not moral?

The word sinister comes from the latin(greek?) word for left. left-handed, or something of that nature.

Up until very recently,say 15 years ago , little left handed kids in catholic schools in Ireland and scotland would be severely punished for using there left hand to write.

I think convent schools ,still to this day take this very seriously and nuns would whip little girls fingers (with the edge of there ruler), to braking point for CoMMiting such an evil satanic act as writing with there left hand.

How moral

Never shake hands with someone from the mid-east left handed.

Alot of anti-left handedness probably comes from the fact that the left hand is the one used for wiping one's arse in non-toilet paper using societies.

We are all born immoral. Morality is taught.

This symbolization is used merely as a word picture, to develop a true sense of the meaning of the scripture.

Inherently, when we think of "right", we think postively.

When we hear "left", we think negatively.

Or at least we used to. (this has been studied, and the brain patterns are clear, when reacting to these words)

Nowadays, these terms are used primarily for describing one's political affiliations, and "left" is becoming "progressive", thus altering the

mindset we have all been programmed to intimately embrace.

As far as whether you are left or right-handed, studies have now concluded that this merely means you are opposite-brained of the hand you predominantly use. (i.e. if you are left handed, you are apt to be right-brained)

I think it is a silly notion to think that morality lies in which hand you are led by.

I disagree with you there because ever since i was born I have been surrounded with immoral people, Immoral surroundings and immoral parents Who showed me that immorality is the way it is.

No one ever taught me morality But I am a moral person, Morality Is Inert at birth.

confusius the chinese philosopher beleived that all people are born innocent, Neither good Nor evil, but only experiences in life would dictate there morals

SuN TZU beleived that all men were born evil and must be controlled with order.

If you were surrounded by immorality from birth (which is basically what Digital said), including your parents... How, then, did you become a moral person?
