my grandfather was raised roman catholic and he told my mother that when he was growing up when his parents found out he was left handed they were outraged. they tried to teach him right hand, but he was born left handed. i myself am ambidextrous. that means i use both hands during writing, drawing and simple tasks like unlocking the door or during driving. i mostly use my left hand now. i have read leviticus, and have found nothing in the laws about being left or right handed.

No. Read Judges 3:15 and Judges 20:16. 1 Chronciles 12:1,2 speaks of the tribe of Benjamin as left-handed people. Ehud was a left-handed Judge from this same tribe and God used him to accomplish his purpose.
God is not partial, so he certainly has no bias toward left-handed people. (Acts 10:34) I hope this answers your question.

This is just another example of superstitious stupidity clouding the real message of religion. There have been parables of putting the righteous on the right hand of God and the wicked on the left. Throughout history people who are different from the majority have been harassed and made to feel bad about their differences. Being left handed is one of those differences that have been persecuted down through the millenia, all because of superstition and ignorance.

Same thing with my grandpa. He was born left-handed, and was forced to be right-handed. When he move out from his parents at the age of 15, he went right back to left hand. He came back and visited one day, and wrote left handed and they got angry and called him stupid.
They were catholic.

It is not a sin. One of the Judges in the bible God picked to rule it said he was left handed.

Lefties were special, especially the first-born males.
Set apart as Nazarenes - read the story of Samson
No, that dogma in the catholic Church is wrong; another example of their domination and control tactics.

No, but I'm left handed. It sure would answer a lot of questions for me if it was true.

A loving God wouldn't send anyone to hell if they chose to follow Him no matter what hand they used. It's what we do with our hands that might get us into trouble.

I have never heard of this. There is nothing wrong with you and it is not in the Bible that I know of.
