<--check out Uriel there. How badass is he?

I am so bored today, I'm almost catatonic with it. The boredom is, fortunately, well-paid boredom (I am putting together someone's bibliography and formatting their footnotes and I am being paid YAY), but still, money does not keep my synapses from curling up to take a snooze. Please keep me from falling over.

Stolen from ashkitty: Give me a character and I will tell you something factual about them according to my own personal canon. This can range from their birthday, favorite color or even their earliest memory up to what they had last night for dinner. If you want, you can ask me a specific question about them, because I am so bored I don't know if I can come up with any facts without prompting.

Two more weeks until Bones and SPN, two more weeks *cries*

Sam's faith is comforting for Dean, it's something he associates with Sam, and he would cling to everything he knows and is familiar with about Sam. Even something as mysterious as faith.
On a side note, I'm not sure Sam's faith is truly faith. I had an interesting conversation about this aspect of Sam some time ago, if I can dug that post, I'll link you.

On a lighter note, Dean can't figure out how to work Sam's iPod.
*lol* Oh, Dean.

Heh, I've always thought of Sam's faith as being... not quite faith, but more like a desperate belief in something, anything. He definitely isn't religious, in the sense of following some organized doctrine--and how could he be, when he sees what he does--but but he doesn't seem to be agnostic, strictly speaking.

If you could find that post, that'd be awesome! I'd love to hear your thoughts ♥

I can't find the post, it must have been related to It's the Great Pumpkin Sam Winchester obviously, but I can't find it. Meep.
Anyway, it can be summed like this: Sam's faith is shallow at best. it' snot something he's thought about a lot and really mediated. Obviously he couldn't follow any organized religion because of his knowledge, but it doesn't seem that he's even reflected about it. My reasoning were tied to his doubts when meeting the angels in the episode and how the angels of the Scriptures confused and made him doubt his faith, and the God he's prayed to.

That's very confusing to me because the smiting angels, the warriors of God are a given thing in the Scriptures and Sam's smart and knoledgeable enough to know it.
So, yes, I think that Sam needed the comfort of a powerful presence of good to offset the evil in the world, but when confronted with the actions of this Good entity, his faith crumbles because it's not really deep rooted in his beliefs.
What does this make of Sam, faith-wise?
