udondeymadt: Haven't your pastor told you guys that, putting offering with your left hand is a sign of disrespect towards God? |

Theyveedo: Because it is a taboo. Taboos are words or actions people avoid because they are thought to bring bad luck. The left-hand scolding and almost-slapping experience I've had with elders, all had to do with money though. I wonder if this left-hand taboo is only about giving and taking money. |

In this part of the world, it is assumed that receiving or giving out something with your left hand is disrespectful and uncourteous. I have seen my mom scold my sister a number of times for either handing something to her or taking something from her with her left hand. It's just a sign of respect to always use your right hand especially while dealing with someone older than you. |
