Samson and Delilah - Not The Epic Love Story I Thought
A few days ago I decided to take a look at the Bible story of Samson and Delilah. For some reason I had always thought that theirs was an epic love story. This is definitely not the case. In fact, I have serious doubts that Delilah ever loved Samson at all. She betrayed him... multiple times! This is a horrible story. Why have I always been told that theirs is one of epic and unconditional love? I thought that maybe as I read on that Delilah's mistakes would be redeemed but they were not. I am not just surprised I guess you could say I am disillusioned and disappointed. What other misconceptions do I have about other stories?? I am not entirely sure if I want to find out.
