HOW would cutting the hair off of a strong man make him weak?

To elaborate on ATG6's post:

"Think of his strength like a superpower and Samson as a superhero. Cutting off his hair is like Kryptonite to Superman."
Yeah, fiction. The Bible is allegorical and fictional.

"And Michael Landon (of Little House on the Prairie and Bonanza fame) was, believe it or not, a competitive javelin thrower in high school and college, and wore his hair long. When some teammates cut it off as a hazing prank, he couldn't throw as far."
He probably was upset at his hair being cut and not performing at his best, that's not quite Samson.

I see. It's just that when you mentioned the Achilles story, I was immediately reminded of the tendon just above the back of the foot at the ankle that allows someone to stand on tip-toe, if it's severed, then they can no longer do that. I just thought the two were related. After all, if someone has those tendons cut, they are at a disadvantage, probably won't be able to walk or even run properly anymore.

I somehow wonder what extremely religious people think about TV or movie science fiction like Star Trek or Star Wars, with all of the alien species, etc.
