First, my response to question #23:
I asked the question in a form that suggested that there were only two ways to respond, but obviously, it is possible that you are like neither Samson's father nor mother. I do think that the problem of patriarchy shown in this ancient story is not much different today. Women are still not listened to or believed as they ought to be. Of course, there are even more marginalized groups that continue to struggle to have a voice. Perhaps the fact that the angel remains nameless is a way of God showing solidarity with the voiceless. At least I would like to think of it that way.
Now for today's question:
Question #24

Now for today's question:
Question #24
Samson's first scene in the story is seeing a Philistine woman and demanding that his parents get her for him as his wife. It doesn't matter to Samson that his parents oppose it. Later, he shows just how immature and petulant he is by abandoning his wife right after the wedding. Today's question is one of those that none of us wants to answer...when have you acted like that?
