The hair just served as symbolism for the promise that was made (look in Numbers 6), and the special powers Samson had disappeared after he broke every part of the covenant. The best way I can answer you on your claims about God is that His ways are larger than ours. God had ordered the death of the Philistines, because only the Israelites were the chosen people, not the Philistines. Samson's purpose again was to remove the Philistines over Israel, and Samson wasn't necessarily the most God-honoring judge (many judges were better). If you want to consider it from a purely biblical standpoint you must know that many of your points you have misinterpreted or misread, so I encourage you read it again.

If we do not get our morals from God then you must say they came from humanity? So that means laws should only be established by certain groups for their specific needs. The thing that is amazing despite so many groups of people and systems there are some basic moral principles that are standard (murder and rape are immoral, theft is immoral etc). If morality depends on people and can be different for people, then the definition of morality has just been broken as morality is a fixed standard between right and wrong.

Did you even read what I wrote?

People are both good and bad, whether they believe in a god or not.
