I'm doing a paper on handedness and right brain thinking. Ive run into a quite handful of religious literature, explaining how there are a few people born through the ages left handed, because they have been singled out as evil and a child of the devil, destined for eternal torment.
Also, that they are fallen angels, and they have deep insight and views about alot of things most people don't care or think of, that they must come down to earth to prove their worthiness or at least accomplish something worthwhile -- and this is why most left handed people are perfectionistic and creative.
There is also scientific studies that seem to show correlation betwwen left handedness and homosexuality, left handedness and immune disorders, list goes on an on.
First of all I KNOW this is not true,
but I think that if you read enough of the literature out there you might subtly have your brain tricked into at least wondering about it. So has anyone else given some thought to it besides me?

READ what I wrote before adding your criticism. I didnt say they were evil I said there is literature out there that alludes to it. I didnt say that if you meet a left handed person it is a fallen angel or demon either. I was articulate in asking this please be the same when answering?!

Sir, I'm sure that you'll find that most people give moronic answers to most questions, because they are conditioned to believe based on emotional responses.
Their eyes see the words, but their emotions scream out incorrect and non-contextual interpretations!
Quite a phenomenon, huh?

Left handed people (especially public education students) probably have a good legal case against the bias against left-handedness.

In all other species beside modern humans, handedness si evenly distributed between left and right. Even in humans, there is evidence that handedness was evenly distributed up until about 500 years ago.
This suggests that lefties were singled out for some reason ... gee, you don't suppose it was the witch trials?

There are studies and theories but no conclusive evidence to suggest any behavioral attributes to left handedness.Correlation between right handed people can also be established with most of the behavioral deviations as they constitute the majority of any population.Then,there are people who are both handed ie they use their right and left hand alternatively and with equal ease and dexterity.May be, in future we are able to find something peculiar to lefties but till then there is nothing remarkable about it .

My brother is left handed. He is not evil. He is one of the most kind hearted guys you could ever meet. He would take the shirt off his back for you if you needed one. I would not say he's a perfectionist, but he does take pride in all he does (he takes great care to do his job to the best of his ability, and accepts the fact if he can't do something).

Left handed people are the world's largest minority we have been persecuted through out history burned at the stake beaten, forced to use our right hands, called names like south paw, witch, ect. The road system is set up to where we have more accidents. The persecution goes on and on. Maybe we should demand reperations for the hardships we have faced. and yes we are the only ones who are in their right mind.

It was all that long ago that left-handed people were deliberately encouraged (either by positive or negative reinforcement) to become right-handed. Thus, studies have to be looked at to make sure there isn't a bias for the crypto-left handers posing as right handers.

All i will permit you be attentive to is that i'm Left exceeded and that i'm as we communicate, healthful as a Horse and a practising Christian. I certainly have been defined as a inventive perfectionist. So, who's conscious. I prefer to take human beings as they arrive and not examine out a quirk of nature to define their fee.

Not really. It is superstition, the only reality is that there are less left handed people than right handed........the only difference is they predominantly use the left hand. They are just as intellectual, balanced, compassionate, humane etc......allowing of course for individual behavior.

Yes I have, exactly the same thought.
Well, maybe not exactly but something similar.
Well kinda similar.
Come to think of it, no, I haven't thought of this before and now that you mention it, I am wondering why I never thought of this before. Lefties, fallen angels, homosexuals and all. Dang, I knew I missed something.
Thanks for the cognitive update:)
