Haven't watched it yet, so I'm commenting blind (please don't spoil me!) - but considering that SPN has screwed up horribly with every religious symbol or other religious reference that they ever attempted, I am so not surprised they're continuing on in the rut they have had going there from S1.
I realize they don't want to base their fantasy world too closely on the religious concepts of any particular religion, but - "Christo" as the name of God? Seriously. That is the dumbest shit ever. They should have just made up something entirely random, or maybe mashed together several names of god(s), or whatever, instead of taking something so very clearly tracable to Christianity but *not* taking anything that is actually even remotely any of the names of god. They could as well have used "God-o" or "Cross-o".

Sorry. The massive stupidity still gets to me. (And I'm actually an atheistic agnostic, so yeah, it's a purely academic question for me. :-) )
