Trivia
- Castiel adamantly says the Bible is mostly wrong, including saying that the Anti-Christ is Lucifer's child, but ironically, the Bible never actually names the Anti-Christ as Lucifer's child; that is more an interpretation of popular culture.
- Despite the Darkness being pre-biblical, the Bible contains a cure for the Darkness' Rabid infection.
