Your Take on God?

[z3s_keep_going]

I'm just wondering what your take on God in Supernatural is. Do you guys think Dean or Sam believes in God? I'm not religious, but I was just reading a fanfic following the episode "Faith" and it kind of brought this..

I really didn't think of Dean believing in God. It's probably just because I don't believe in God and this was the first episode

The way I view it is simply a random series of events. It was neither right nor wrong for either Dean or Marshall to die, but rather it just happened.

Dean's response would probably be that it would be wrong for anyone to die. I think he'd also privately add that it was more wrong for Marshall to die than him. He seems to have a bit of a martyr complex

You don't think it was either right or wrong for Dean to get hurt in the first place? That's an interesting way of looking at it

I am not asking if you believe in God, and I can see how you could confuse that with what I'm actually asking. I'm asking for you for a second to ignore what you honestly believe, and what your reasons might be and whatever you have against the counter argument. It's just looking at someone else's opinoin and I'm asking you to input your opinion of God and religious belief as little as you can

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything. And I agree we can't make the call of whether or not they believe. It's just the idea behind it all, not actually the answer to the Question, that interests me and I wanted to see if others wanted or were willing to discuss some of it

I don't think that Sam is an atheist. I think both boys believe in a Higher Power, whatever the interpretation of that Power is. I don't think they subscribe to any organized religion groupthink, though.

I concur with that. I think they believe in a higher power, but don't follow a certain religion so it therefore makes them spiritualists. If you see, believe and hunt down evil such as demons, then you have to believe in good and some form of angels, or what be it.

There actually is a lot of Catholicism involved into the show regardless of them not being religious, but then again, there's a lot of eastern religion as well.
