As many have said, Dean’s a pragmatist. He’s seen demons, ghosts, etc.: they’re real. But even demons doubt Lucifer; I expect they doubt the existence of God. Why shouldn’t Dean? He’s had plenty of experience with evil and dispair and precious little with good and hope. Give him a break.
Meanwhile, our angry ghosts should be blaming the demons & evil that are actually responsible for their suffering instead of the hunters who were present at their deaths. Guess it must be part of the “witness ritual” & the fact that the demons aren’t reachable.

Dean is a realist, who only believes in what he has concrete proof on. He just happens to live in a VERY different world than your average scientist/atheist does. Since he has never seen proof of Angles/God/Heaven, he doesn’t beleive it. And since he has seen ENDLESS proof of the darker side, he believes in it. It makes sense if you think about it.

It makes perfect sense that Dean doesn’t believe. He’s seen many good people die, including his own family, while nothing “good” has come by to help them. He’s never experienced anything that didn’t have a price tag attached – good things don’t happen to Dean without them. He lives because of a faith healer? Well someone else died in his place. He lives after being tortured by a demon and on the verge of death? His father died in hs place. His mother’s last words to him were that angels would watch over them? She died burning on a ceiling. It’s very easy to accept that bad things happen, bad things exist and good people end up getting hurt. It’s harder to believe those things happen while there is supposedly some all knowing God like in the bible who supposedly cares what happens. Even if he exists, well he apparently doesn’t care all that much, so why should Dean have faith in him?

I’m mostly with Hilda. Dean’s scepticism about God and the existence of good has everything to do with his life experience. He has always counted on himself and even said so 30 hours or so before he died “noone can get me out of this but me”, remember? It will take more than Castiel to convince him otherwise but I think the “all mighty Kripke” has that figured out already.. The fact that Sammy believes will make the difference for Dean, they already set the grounds for that with Ep. 2 last scene. Dean seems to be terrified of the unknown but even so, Sam’s point of view is all that matters for that guy. I love the way Kripke points out their bond innovatively every single time…Way to go!! As for the killing of innocents trapped in their possessed bodies it’s always been an issue for the boys from day one, we saw it last in ep. 1 with Sam’s “Damn” after his powers use in the bar. That’s another example that their world is far from innocent and divine…

I’ve been hoping and expecting for the appearance of angels – or some other form of opposite beings from demons. However – we learned in Sin City that, like humans with God, some demons believed in “Lucy”, some didn’t, but it was all about faith, not a physical presence of the devil.
I think seeing demons may equate to believing in their opposite, but believing in God and Lucifer is another matter altogether. We still haven’t seen either one yet, just Castiel’s story.
In Kripke I Trust.

I was going to post comments but so many of my fellow fans made the exact same points I intended to make about Dean and his lack of faith. So I’m not gonna repeat everyone else. I’ve been hoping for this kind of set-up and apocalypse! Like Sam said, how can there be evil without good? Like I always say, can’t have shadow without light. This show rocks!

It is my belief that this ANGEL is no angel from GOD. I believe he is an unknown entity.I belive he saved Dean from hell for his own personal use.I believe that the road thus far will lead us into a very deceptive path.
I believe in GOD.
I believe that ‘SUPERNATURAL’ is the greatest show.
I believe in ERIC KRIPKE

Ok so the show really hasn’t pondered why Dean regards himself so lowly,but there is a reason.It has been hinted at that Papa Winchester favored Sam more and rode Dean pretty hard about protecting Sam. Dean not only had to be big brother,part time dad,teacher and protecter to Sam.Dean never really got to be Dean,he never got to find himself! He has had to sacrifice everything to the cause.
Dean has every reason to doubt the existance of God,like he said what kind of God would let this happen to innocent people.
I am loving the show,I have from season one. The boys her always awesome. I love this little twist with Castiel and I will love seeing him challenge Dean!
