I meant the demon blood from babyhood.
And here's a biology question to shelve next to the theology one. When Sam's spleen broke down his old blood cells, what happened to the demon blood? Is it spleen resistant? Or would the demon blood cells be broken down like all the others? And if broken down, what happens to any elements particular to its demonic nature? Did Sam end up with a demon spleen? (And would "Demon Spleen" make a good death metal band name?) Would the demonic end up circulating through the lymphatic system, like a really non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?
Could I over-think this any more?
having it dripped into his mouth as a baby? Kinda cruel barrier to the Elysian fields.
Some branches of Christianity have suggested that unbaptized infants end up in hell, so this approach to damnation wouldn't be unheard-of.
I'm only playing with the idea for fic purposes, remember. I'm not sure God would deny Sam heaven at all, but it's hard to make it all work in my head when Sam and Dean's "chosen" status makes Azazel's last man standing plan really dumb.
Although I guess for *his* purposes, if not for Lucifer's, it made sense to have a spare for the heir.

But it doesn't gibe with the Godness in Show we've seen so far, if he's the one making the call. Joshua gave me the impression that it was Him that was making the decision to resurrect them each time they died, and that He was responsible for their sojourns in Heaven each time, not Zackie-pooh.

So you think Zachariah just horned in on their last trip, and decided to use it to his advantage?

Yeah. You think Zach brought them to Heaven each time and wiped their memories?

No! But how many times were they there?
If Sam went during AHBL, then ... I don't know who would have wiped his memory, unless that was part of the package the demon offered.
When was Dean ever in heaven aside from Dark Side of the Moon?
The writers should have made a bible for these details and stuck with it, is what.
All those hundreds of times he died in Mystery Spot (the whiplash he must have gotten repeatedly pulling a U-y at the pearly gates!)?
But Mystery Spot was before his deal, which I always thought meant he would have gone to hell each time. Or just nowhere, since he wasn't really dead until the Wednesday.
I don't know!
Maybe he was in Gabrielimbo.
