Supernatural is everywhere!!!!

[zara_zee]

So this evening I was at the Catholic Confirmation of a family member and I'm not especially religous, so there I was trying not to zone out when the Bishop mentions that Catholicism is a supernatural religion. My ears immediately prick up because, hey, he said 'supernatural.'

"Now," the Bishop continues, "when I say 'supernatural' I'm not talking about that television show I sometimes like to watch with the two boys who drive around fighting evil..." and I didn't really hear the next bit because I was too busy thinking, 'Oh my gosh!!! The Bishop watches Supernatural.' And 'I can't even go to a Confirmation without mention of Supernatural!! Supernatural is everywhere!' 

So, my night = made. :)

Oh wow, yes, it is helpful! My curiosity has been killing me, lol! I was even discussing it with my elderly mother the other day. She used to watch the show until maybe season 6, and although she's not overly religious, she is a believer, which I am not. But her beliefs tend to be quite different from a lot of churchgoing Christians as, like me, she believes the bible to be more analogy based, and that as it was written by people, the agenda of those people is also part of what is written, and also that much of it is open to interpretation.

I guess it makes perfect sense that you can separate it into a different universe, because of canon :) It's really interesting to hear the way you view it in respect to your beliefs. I've often been surprised that the show hasn't been picketed or petitioned against. Although I'm sure the Westboro Baptist Church has sermons against it considering they believe Misha Collins to be the Antichrist, LOL!

Thanks for sharing :)

LOL The idea of Misha as the Antichrist just makes me laugh - both because it's the kind of thing he'd have a LOT of fun with, and because honestly... the man is as close to a real life angel as you can get, just about :P hehe

I have all kinds of thinky thoughts about Cas in particular on the show, and his journey, and how I think that relates to me as a person of faith who's kind of searching, figuring out for themselves what they believe and what they don't - what things they feel like actually come from GOD, and what things they've been TOLD came from God.

Cas's story really, really touches me on that level, so much so that sometimes it surprises me to hear that people think I'd be offended by the show, and then I'm like - oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess I could see that. :P lol

They do? Bwahahaha! I hadn't heard that. How funny. I bet he's stoked about that! :)

I know, it's hilarious! The original posting was removed quite a while ago, but of course, some clever person screencapped it. Here's a tumblr post about it and make sure you click on the link at the very bottom where you'll be directed to video where a fan tells Misha about it.

And there's this where Misha had actually tweeted about it. Such a pity it all got deleted, it was incredibly funny. Some of the comments were priceless! Some were making hilariously sarcastic comments agreeing with the posters, and there were others that were members of other obscure little churches stating they believed it to be true as well. The reasons behind it - him doing charitable acts - for one, had me crying with laughter. Obviously if you run a charity it must be because you're luring people to the side of evil. I mean, WTF?
