Most Christians know the biblical story of Samson, a hella-strong dumbass who stupidly trusted his girlfriend. But if you read about his origin story in Judges 13, you find out that his dad was also a dumbass. So in Samson's defense, he correctly assumed women were smarter than him.

Judges 13 is a short story that explains a lot. Samson's dad is Manoah. His mom is never named. An angel goes to his mom and tells her what's up. She believes him. Manoah doesn't know who this rando is. Even after the dude ascends in a fire. And Samson's unnamed mom is like, "really‽"

naso was my bar mitzvah portion and the haftara (prophetic reading) for it is the annunciation of samson and i gotta say that story reads like a scene from the simpsons. manoah is homer
