So if you are going to be literal about the bible, when are you all going to give up all of your worldly possessions?

:Jesus said unto him, If you will be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."

Matthew 19:21

Mammon instructed everyone to go forth and gain as much money and material possessions as possible.

This is the mantra of America and most of the rest of the world.

There is a lot of "anti-left" prejudice in the Bible, reflecting the society of the time. It drives my left-handed husband crazy to hear the phrase "right hand of God". There is even a sci-fi book called "The Left Hand of God". I almost got it for him.

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
Matthew 19:24

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves
And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
Matthew 21:12-13

Do you know what the Latin is for right and left?

Right- dextra, as in dexterous.
Left- sinistra, as in sinister.

These left- right associations are only symbolic, it does not mean left handed is worse than right handed or bad in any way.
