lady_windermereWhile trying to write my drabbles (or flashfic), for my own challenge, I've been stuck with Sam and Dean. With Sam, you got a poll yesterday, today you get a question about Dean, because they are eating at my brain. I need other peoples thoughts.
The angels were ready to save Dean from hell incase he broke and the first seal was broken, because he was a "rightous man". Ok this has been bugging me. About both Dean and John, who Alister was trying to break in hell because it would break the seal. So much so, I even looked up the dictionary to make sure I had the difinition of Rightous righ.
rightous (re-tyus) a doing that which is right: accepted of God, as free from sin; just; upright; godly; virtuous; good; honest; rightful.
Ok, so Dean and the difinition. So God has accepted both John and Dean, despite the fact that they do not accept him. John doesn't bring the boys up in a religious background, but there was Paster Jim. While in 'Houses of the Holy', Dean is shocked that Sam prays, because nothing was watching out for them when Mary was killed. At the end of the episode he does say that he saw the "Will of God", but doesn't really change his ways in any form.
In 'The Magnificent Seven' Dean accepts that he is indeed full of sin, therefore by his own admission, sinful.
Because of the life thay lead they are committing crimes, and breaking one of the Ten Commendments in "Thou Shaln't not steal", Dean has killed humans, breaking the Commendment "Thou Shaln't not kill".
I will accept that they do these things for the greater good, and just maybe God would forgive them. What I doubt is that in all this time, they are the only rightous men who ended up in hell to be used to break the seal.
I'm also doubtful that God would accept them as rightous after they made a deal with a demon to upset the natural balance of life and death.
So I'm having a tough time seeing Dean (or John), as a rightous man.
Anyone want to give me their opinions?
