It is part of his character, but he can recognize when he says something stupid. He apologized (in one way or another) for all his comments to Death, which is why I think he's also suicidal.

The problem with the priest is the same problem every TV character has: they've never watched TV. Characters in zombie series don't know about zombies, characters in horror films don't know the cliches, and so on. If the priest had watched a second of TV, a brunette dressed in full black clothes with black nail polish, trying to speak with God like one speaks to a regular person, accusing him of manipulation tactics, and seemingly oblivious to one of the most prevalent religious beliefs on Earth, would set off alarm bells.

Yeah, Amara wanted more knowledge and power, but I thought she wouldn't take his soul, like how she didn't take Castiel's grace, because he wasn't worth it.
