You may have wondered why Liberals are called the "right" and Labor is called the "left."
The definitive answer is in the good book:
"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”.
Nothing, however, about September 7.

No, Geoff, they are called "left" because they LEFT their brains in their dunny.

And let us not forget our Latin. Dexter, the right. Sinister, the left.

Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Trolling Dent - couldn't see a joke if it battered him.

Fair go, I was running WITH Geoff's joke.

A merry heart does good like a medicine; but a broken spirit dries the bones.

If you were running WITH the joke you picked a poor example. Your quote says whether you are right or left there is no difference. Read it again. Right OR left the voice says this is the way.

How about this one -
Proverbs 4:27
Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
