Oh, your comment was fine, it was probably just me being defensive. Some of the commenters before you, I think, thought that I was saying that the hourglass was HOW IT IS NO ARGUMENTS, instead of just "how I personally see it, yet to be confirmed or denied by the show."
Yeah, a lot of people who watch SPN seem to subscribe to the Gaiman/Pratchett God-view. Personally, I don't think that's the case though...seeing as how the boys have dealt with pagan gods that are still powerful even though no one believes in them anymore. I think a lot of people get confused (and angry - *cough*Hammer of the Gods*cough*) when they try to turn SPN into a purely Gaiman/Pratchett world, rather than a completely separate world that has just been influenced by Gaiman/Pratchett.
My world-view happily avoids that! :P
And yes, I was happy that Dean thought of Adam in that episode...and it makes sense. Something HAD to be done about Sam. If Dean left Sam soulless (because Sam CHOOSE to jump in the pit) SoullessSam would have caused destruction etc everywhere he went and killed more people. So, Dean either had to kill Soulless!Sam or shove Sam's soul back in there. But yeah, he has to feel pretty damn horrible about Adam - so has Sam, for that matter.
Personally, I think the cage is within God's domain. I see Death and God as equals in SPN, and if Death can go to the cage and pull Sam's soul out easy as pie, than God could do the same. So, in that respect, I think that God is an ass for leaving Adam there.
