Sam agreed to the God and angels thing. Dean said something like "well, then you must believe in the Devil too." Sam said yes (I think?) and then asked Dean why he was asking about all that. Cue Dean staring intensely.
Supernatural 1: Saving People, Hunting Things - the Family Business
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
And fade to black.
Yes, indeed.
Had a fun Supernatural get together this weekend. If my friend S emails me the picture of the tablescape I will put it up on flickrr and link. (We had fun decorating.)
Food was Sloppy Joes, cabbage salad, excellent Wisconsin extra sharp chedder, "Hell Makes You Crabby" crab dip, veggies and dip (Mary would have insisted on veggies), Pig in a Poke (actually a bagel dog thing), Angelfood and Devils Food cake and peanut M&Ms. Plus, beer.
It was fun.
No purple nurples?
No, not this time.
One of the things I find interesting is that after all these seasons of only encountering bad things, suddenly a non-human force for good shows up.
It is interesting. And something that (Sera Gamble at least) has been thiking about for some time. We rewatched "Faith" and "Houses of the Holy" as part of our little Supernatural weekend. And it's interesting how willing Sam is to believe and how resistant Dean is.

I think it's because Dean lost his faith when Mary died, but was still able to instill a concept of faith in Sam.
(BOYS.)
I think it's because Dean lost his faith when Mary died, but was still able to instill a concept of faith in Sam.
Since Dean really has no faith at all, and is pretty much outright contemptuous of people of faith, why would you think he would bother to "instill a concept of faith in Sam"?
I think he even did it despite himself. Sam has faith because he trusts in his family. I don't know that Dean instilled a "religious" faith, but having the capability of faith in anything is a big step toward having faith that aligns with a particular religion.
What Ailleann said. Dean sheltered Sam from facing the realities of their world as much as possible. We saw that with the Christmas episode. Even if Dean "knew" that good things don't happen, he wasn't going to let Sammy know that. I think that is probably one of the contributing factors to why Sam even would think college was possible or consider anything like angels or God. Dean let Sam have hope.
