Supernatural Thoughts and Quotes or How big of an asshole God really is

2x08 Crossroad Blues

Dean to the person who made a demon deal ten years ago: 

"I think you did it for yourself. So you wouldn't have to live without her. But guess what, she's gonna live without you now. What if she knew how much it cost? What if she knew it cost your soul? How do you think she'd feel?"

Dean, isn't that a bit ironic? Sure you didn't know at the time that you were gonna make the very same deal to save Sam, but the irony in that is just remarkable. Did God do that on purpose? Showing Dean how stupid making demon deals is just to have him do it anyway, because God needed to show him that Dean willfully throws all reason into the pile when it comes to Sammy and saving him. When it's about Sam nothing else matters, not ethics, not right or wrong, not life or death, because for Dean Sam always comes first. It's instinct. Sam's life before Dean's without even hesitating. Is that what God wanted to show us and show Dean? How far Dean is willing to go and therefor how far God can push them to sacrifice anything and everything for each other over and over again even when every rational fiber in Dean and every other person with the right sense of mind tells him it's wrong. In this case Dean himself thinks it's unethical and unfair towards the person you would save, because they would have to live without you just to disregard this very statement later on. Even Bobby doesn't agree with Dean's irrational behavior.

He said that, because that's exactly what John did to save Dean and that's exactly how Dean feels about his own father sacrificing his life for Dean's. He said it himself he's not even supposed to be here, he was dead and he should've stayed dead. But when the time comes Dean will understand John's motives because he feels the same responsibility and love and dependence with Sam. He can't live without him, he can't hunt without him. Well he could but he doesn't want to, so Dean actually did it for himself because he couldn't live with that guilt, with that disappointment, with that failure and with that hole in his life. God may have said Dean shouldn't confuse him with his own father, but I'm convinced that God has used that parallel before to illustrate or clarify some aspects of his story. So the question is: Did God show Dean that you can disapprove of a choice from the bottom of your heart and with everything you believe and then do it anyway because of stronger motives than reason, to somehow explain or justify the choices God made for Sam and Dean? Why would he do something like that? Sympathy from the viewers/readers? Comprehensible strands of action?
