Look, I try to keep out of this shit as much as possible. I don't really have the stamina or the desire for big fights anymore. But could you please stop trying to act like Cas is the enemy? He tries so hard, with everything he has, to do everything he can to protect everyone here. Especially Sam and Dean. He's not stupid, he's not incompetent, and he definitely isn't an enemy. Him providing what information he has isn't propaganda, and just because you disagree with his approach doesn't mean he's wrong. Berating and insulting him doesn't solve anything. It's just perpetuating a problem.
You're both right. Sam needs his soul, he's not complete without it. I understand that better than most might. But in that sort of shape, it could just as easily kill him. I'm sure there's plans being made where I can't see, but if Death can't or won't help, is it possible that it could be retrieved and put in something else until a way could be found to fix it? Take it in steps? That way his soul would be safe and out of hell, but it won't break the rest of him.
