Prologue – What Is God?
"Am I God? It is a very interesting question indeed." The man that is usually known as Principle Shurley swivels around to face the troublemaker. He continues:
"Perhaps what I should ask you is, what is God? Is he some heavenly watchmaker that has long ago designed the lives of all of us? Does he know everything? Is he a loving Father presiding over his children, or just an all-powerful child-at-heart playing with his toys, his 'creations'? Your soul, your bright, shining soul, is that just an aggregation of chemical signals and energy or is there something more? Is there a purpose to our lives on earth – why are we here? Is there a fixed set of rules that governs the Universe and all of us? If so, did God set the rules, or did we? Does God hold in his hands our fate, or do we? Do we have free will, after all?
"In this case, I guess the most important question is whether there is such things that are inevitable? Do we choose how we act and what we do, or were they set in stone long ago? Can we excuse the bad deeds we do and undermine the good ones even so? Or in this case, if given a second chance, will we do the same thing without even knowing it, will we make the same mistakes all over again?"
The Principal now stands and looks into the eyes of his student. "Now you ask me, is any of this real? Well, Dean Winchester, what is real? For me, I think real is not what you see, but rather how you feel."
