It the recent episode (On the Head of Pin?) where his faith is being shaken to its core by Uriel's betrayal and how Anna's viewpoint making sense was heart-wrenching. I thought Misha's acting was great in that episode.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-12429499022781657652009-03-31T11:51:00.000-05:002009-03-31T11:51:00.000-05:00>>>I consider faith and religion to be tw...>>>I consider faith and religion to be two different things, and as such, I guess the show is addressing faith rather than religion<BR/><BR/>Well put, Natalie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-38606953503301670432009-03-31T11:25:00.000-05:002009-03-31T11:25:00.000-05:00Mary, I periodically wonder that about Sam, too. ...Mary, I periodically wonder that about Sam, too. He didn't remember being there, wherever there was.<BR/><BR/>Hm. I just realized, we've never seen anyone die and go to hell. We've only seen them dragged there without actual death. I wonder if that means something.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the show is handling this stuff. You alluded to one thing--Dean absolutely doesn't believe, he faces it logically, but he just as strongly supports his brother's faith--like when he told him not to judge all angels just because a couple of them are dicks. And on the other side, Sam doesn't want to force Dean to agree with his viewpoint, but he's a little sensitive and protective of his own.<BR/><BR/>I consider faith and religion to be two different things, and as such, I guess the show is addressing faith rather than religion.<BR/><BR/>Very nice topic, Mary!Natalie J.

Even back in S1 and S2 before we knew so much about angels and demons, I liked that Sam had faith even with all the crappy things that have happened to him and his family. <BR/><BR/>Faith and Houses of the Holy have always been in my top 10 episodes. I keep waiting for that "mom told me every night that angels were watching over me" to come back and mean something. <BR/><BR/>While I am not one of the people that think of God as some dude in heaven in a robe watching over us and letting everyone kill each other, I do believe in a higher power. (and it's a chick!) They has to be good and evil for us to appriciate the good and want to do away with the evil )or not in some cases) Life would be boring without torment. And I do think that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger so just think how strong our boys must be!phouse1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/14462424704338238347noreply@blogger.com
