Like so many Bible verses, it all depends on the translation. Here are two alternative translations which change the meaning.

A wise person's heart leads the right way. The heart of a fool leads the wrong way

A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one.

It's no longer right and left, but right and wrong. The modern day significance attached to the terms left and right are probably just coincidence.

Some Bible mistranslations are really important. A lot of Bible scholars believe that a better translation of Thou shalt not kill is probably thou shalt not murder. That's always made more sense to me.

Dennis Prager, who is fluent in Greek and Hebrew says that the Bible verse that says Man is made in the image of God should probably be Man is made in the shadow of God. The difference between image and shadow completely changes the meaning. Originally Posted by joe bloe

JB; the thread devolved away from LKs joke.....ironically it was COG who first chimed in with the serious affirmation of IB's response .......but now he reminds us of LK's original intent to make the thread a joke.......

LOL, add me to the list of left handed ones. Kind of figures, doesn't it? Heh Heh Heh

But, only a bunch of paranoid Beckian doofae can amalgamate direction, correctness, ancient prejudices, and political theory into a world view. Sort of speaks to the level of the thought process in action. Ignoring context in an elementary attempt at cleverness is almost as good as Ambien as a remedy for insomnia. Translation for the TPers: boring as hell.

And for the halibut, remember the Left Handed Legion was a pretty salty bunch. Run for your bibbles for verification.
