4x18 The Monster at the End of this Book

Chuck to Sam and Dean: "Well, there's only one explanation: Obviously I'm a god. [...] Yeah, no I'm definitely a god. A cruel, cruel, capricious god. The things I put you through, the physical beatings alone. [...] I killed your father, I burnt your mother alive [...]. All for what? All for the sake of literary symmetry. I toyed with your lives, your emotions for entertainment."

Dean as a response: "You didn't toy with us, Chuck, okay? You didn't create us. [...] Chuck you're not a god!"

So first of I won't talk about how much of a motherfucking circle this is, now that we know that the monster at the end of the series, the end of the books, the final big bad is indeed Chuck aka God, since numerous people have pointed that out before. What I find particularly interesting about this conversation and Chuck's choosing of words, is that this must be reverse psychology. God doesn't say anything but the truth in this whole conversation, not once does he lie about who he is and I don't just mean that he is God, but how cruel and capricious he in his own words truly is. He also reveals his motives for all the misery and suffering Sam and Dean had to come up against, he does it solely for entertainment and literary purposes. 

With this strategy of telling nothing but the unvarnished truth he causes Sam and Dean to believe the exact opposite of what he just told them. As I said, the reason for this is reverse psychology on the one hand, but on the other hand Sam and Dean still believe (20) that God is a fair and loving individual and not even they are "dumb" enough to actually think that if this would in fact be God, he wouldn't just say it like that, he wouldn't characterize himself as cruel and capricious (21) and foremost he wouldn't act this un-lordly. Obviously I can't blame Sam and Dean for thinking such thing, I probably would have done the same thing. I even did as I watched it the first time. I mean, who would actually introduce a character like this and expect the audience to believe such an unbelievable and unfitting self-description of a character to be actually true?

Once again God wants themto stay on their path, believing that they can't change the future he has designatedto them, keeping them at line and in check. (22) At the same time he draws attention away from himself with such obviously wrongtruth.

(20) Along with the rest of the earth, mind you. Okay maybe except Death, the empty and au Michael, who sort of figured out God's game plan.

(21) Although everything is true.

(22) Even Cas says so during the episode. Once a "prophet" has written or seen something it can't be changed or undone, so everything Sam and Dean try to do to get off that prescribed path is useless so they just need to comply.
