vaznettiAbout those SPN directors-cut scenes...
I'm not actually surprised to hear that Sam prays every day, although my first thought was "Gee, Sam, do you lie to God, too?" He must be fairly quiet about it, for Dean not to notice it ever but ::handwave:: I do think Sam is engaged in a long-running bargaining session with God, which may or may not include attempts to con God into saving him, all of which have somehow been categorized in his head as "prayer."
So I guess my answer to the above question is, "Probably, yes." Or maybe Sam needs someone he can't lie to, I don't know.
Dean's refusal to believe is... OK, I don't really get the "God would never have let this happen, therefore God doesn't exist," line of thought. Is this something I need to explain? I guess it makes a little more sense if you're dealing with a supernatural evil, instead of the shitty things humans do to each other, but I still don't get how a person can look at the world and say, "I am so important that God ought to swoop down from Heaven and save me or this person that I love, and if God son't do it then God doesn't exist." It's an immature reaction, it seems to me, and it makes sense in this context for Dean, because the Dean who believes this is still a four year old boy whose life has literally just gone up in smoke.
In Faith, he did tell Layla he'd pray for her; I may need to ::handwave:: this, but I guess I'll wait until I've seen the episode.
Yay! Almost Thursday!
