In retrospect terms to what the roman Catholics say, no. Think about it beings of infinate powers such as god or the devil have no physical body's so they can't have hands. But what I can tell you is where this myth came from. Back in medieval times this was a saying used to discipline knights, when defending a sprile tower from attackers you had to be right handed for your sword to make contact on the invader, if you held the sword in your left hand it would bounce off the walls and you will be killed. But if the attacker was right handed his sword will hit the walls and not you so think about it now. In terms of defense left handed people will die but in terms of attacking they will be the survivors so hence where the term came from Leftys are the devil or the devil is Lefted handed. Hope this helps
