Ever wonder why, in Court, we put our left hand on the bible to be sworn in?
It's because the left hand is the hand closest to the heart. When making a promise with the left hand on the bible it symbolizes how a heart is pure, innocent and honest.

To liberate Israel from the Moabites, God sent Ehud, a left-handed assassin, to carry out one of the most gruesome murders found in the bible. (According to Judges, the Benjamites were incredible left handed warriors that could hit a single human hair with a sling).
'Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer—Ehud, a ...[text shortened]... den meaning here, or did God just recognise that 'lefties' kick ass? (And yes, i'm left handed).

Originally posted by divegeesterI have nothing against left handed people. My wife is left handed and we had a son that was both left and right handed. His grade school teach complained that she was having a hard time getting him to write with only one hand. He started out writing with his left hand and in the middle of the page he would switch to his right hand to finish the right side of the paper.
I'm left handed also.
Edit: but only for writing, everything else is right handed.

Originally posted by RJHindsYes, i would also do that during exams. I tend to grip the pen too tight and am prone to hand ache. When that happened i would just switch to the right hand until the left recovered.

Naturally, like most things, the writing from the 'left' hand was more beautiful and inspired.

I don't think being left or right handed is better or worse either way. I wish I was ambidextrous. Seems that would be superior to one or the other.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI have seen many left handed people write in what I call an upside down manner with their hand curled over the top of the page. It seems awkward to me. Do you know what I am mean?

Originally posted by RJHindsYes, a lot of left handers write that way. I tend to drag my hand over what i've just written, so have to use quick drying ink. (Fountain pens are impossible to write with).

Originally posted by RJHindsThe reason for that is because left-right writing is designed for right handed people.

It makes you wonder how the Hebrews and other middle eastern people that go right-left write.

The fact that a certain percentage of people are left handed fits well with the predictions of evolution.
