Samson didn't cause his own death. Samson prayed to God for the return of his strength one last time.
Samson could not have pushed the towers over without God granting him his strength. God approved
and granted Samson his strength. But by doing so, Samson took responsibility for revealing the source
of his strength but was asking for judgment on those that took advantage of his weakness. Since God
gave Samson the strength to push the towers over, any argument about this is against God and not
Samson.
