You didn't, but it's a common assertion.

I’ll let God sort that out, thank you very much

*nod* — As will I.

Assisting.....another's death is Murder: Thou Shalt Not Murder.

I'm not sure of that assertion — it runs afoul of God giving Samson strength and thereby assisting with his suicide/revenge.

Samson was acting to rid the area of PHILISTINES...likely under the inspiration of God.

While I agree that Samson's killing of the Philistines wasn't murder (IIRC they were at war with the Israelites at the time), it doesn't negate the above fact.
