Samson Confused With ...

Samson confused with He-man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snufwP5SO-Y&NR=1
He-Man is a heroic fictional character in the Masters of the Universe franchise. He is the alter ego of Prince Adam and also the twin brother of She-Ra. He-Man and his friends defend Eternia and the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
It is my belief that for many children when they hear the stories of Samson in the Bible he appears to be the Christian version of He-man, the strong, valiant, hero, who delivers the Tribes of Israel from the Philistines.
Perhaps we have false portrayed him this way, because his life seems to be such an enigma. There are many fallen heroes encountered from Genesis to Revelation, but none looms greater than Samson.
He was ’a He-man with a she-weakness’ --
Powerful and feared by men, Samson was weak and controlled by women.
He could thousands of men, let betray his greatest secrets to women.
He was empowered by the Spirit of God, yet he yielded his body to the appetites of the flesh.
