Eyeless in Gaza

Samson, blinded by his enemies, stood in the temple of Dagon and asked God for one last favour. He didn't deserve it. Samson was a Nazarite, a member of a sect who vowed never to touch the body of anything dead, vowed never to drink wine or anything made from fermentation and who vowed to never cut his hair. Samson was a crappy Nazarite.

He killed people by the hundreds, lit a couple of dozen fox on fire, lusted after cute Philistine girls, also forbidden, and killed a lion with his bare hands only to cut it open to eat the honey from a beehive the lion had consumed. In short, he wasn't a very nice guy. God knew it and decided it was time to teach him a lesson.

Samson's weak point were the girls and when he met Delilah she set about to bring the big man down. She was working for the Philistines, who really wanted to see Samson dead, mainly because with one hand he slew them and with the other he fondled their wives. The funny thing about the whole ordeal was that Delilah had to illustrate to Samson that if he kept lying to her about his true nature, he was defying God. Samson thought about it and realized that she was right. He told her about the hair and she cut it off making him an easy target for the Philistines. They dragged him off and put him to work in a mine. It took Samson a while to get around the idea but he knew that there is only one way to be with God and that is to surrender your life to Him.

The Philistines were, if the bible is telling the truth, a bad bunch who never did nothing for no one. They decided to throw a big party and make Samson do a dance or two and as he leaned against a pillar in the temple he asked God for one last favour and he pulled the temple down on all of them.

The moral? Guys are idiots and girls are deceitful. Sounds about right to me.
