Origin of Left and Right

[JuST Peter]

 I have often wondered why it is that Liberals are called the
        "right" and Labor are called the "left."

        I then found this verse in the Bible:

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2
Also, Matthew 25:33 . . . He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.


Can't get any simpler than that.

There you go... it's always been thus!

politics and religon mixed up in one go
there goes polite dinner conversation

[Sabie]

I thought this was an A political Site and non religious Site.

Geez I hope the ST Gods wern't listening........
