Proof of strength enhancing drugs in the Bible...

Billy, Samson was juicing back in biblical times and he was definitely not sinning. Many scholars have debated this, but it is widely known that a lot of Christians were juicing David, Goliath and Samson just to out a few. Here is the proof straight from the good book.
"The spirit of the Lord came mightily upon" Samson and "he found a new jawbone of an ass ... and took it, and slew 1000 men therewith." Today this would be called Roid Rage but in biblical times this was known as being filled with the holy spirit. Especially if the ones they were slaying were uncircumcised.
"After Samson killed 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass, he was thirsty. So God created and filled a hollow in the very same jawbone and put water in it for Samson to drink." This leads me to believe Samson was also taking in a lot of creatine and this is what caused his dehydration.
"Samson, after "going in unto" a harlot, takes the doors, gate, and posts of the city and carries them to the top of a hill. Why did he do this? Did God make him do it or was he just showing off? The Bible doesn't say." Sounds like a strong man contest was coming up and he needed to stay in shape. Not many people know this but he use to train with Goliath and you know that guy was on something! Besides who needs a workout after whacking a thousand men with the jaw bone of an ass?
Samson reveals the secret of his strength to Delilah: "If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me." I thought his strength was from God sounds to me like he was getting ready to cycle off and he needed a reason for up coming "shrinkage". All of this leads to this question... If God comes upon me at a meet and I start speaking in tongues and then I bench 800 pounds drug free and raw is that cheating? I mean God isn't on the banned substance list but if he spots the believers and gives the non-believers a bad hand-off isn't that an unfair advantage?
Next week we'll look at David and Goliath.
