There's no doubt the right hand has special meaning that the left doesn't have, but I fail to see where in any of those passages it implies writing with your left hand is any worse than writing with your right hand.
(Sorry if I'm missing the obvious...)
Correct me if I am wrong but "The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab." means that they put him to death for being left handed. Also, the others imply being left handed is inferior and means that the person is foolish. I also believe this plays into why when people are being sworn in, they must put their right hand on the bible.
