"Okay, I'm sorry, I know you don't like to talk about stuff, but I just have to know."

"Oh, this is gonna be fun. What is it?"

"You changed your mind about the God thing? You believe? Really?"

"Okay, no. I'm so not talking about this with you. No. Off limits."

"No, but seriously. I'm not trying to belittle you or anything--"

"Oh, well, thanks for that, I wouldn't want to be 'belittled.'"

"No, really. It's just that you were so sure. And now...I just can't believe you believe and I don't."

"You're not going to let up on this are you?"

"Nope."

"Okay, fine. God. Okay, look, I thought about what you said and it made sense."

"What I said?"

"Yeah. And then, I don't know, I was just thinking about...ancestors."

"Ancestors."

"Yeah."

"Okay...and what conclusions did you draw?"

"Well, thinking about the very first of us...how did they make the jump? How did they go from, like, the furballs, to us? You've gotta admit, we're pretty awesome."

"So...you have a problem with...evolution? With logic?"

"Wow, could you be any more condescending? Why don't you go ahead and explain it to me, then, Mr. Wizard?"

"No, I'm sorry. I just...I'm surprised that the idea of being willed into existence one day and then cast out for one small sin makes more sense to you than thinking we came from more primitive beings."

"The very first of us? Yeah."

"Well, I guess it's kind of comforting to have a solid idea of where we came from, a name and a story, rather than just having some random meat be our ancestor."

"What? This isn't about me needing a bedtime story. It's just that...look, this isn't a gray area. It's not possible to be part human. You're either one of us or you aren't. So it had to happen all at once, and, the first time, how could they have gotten from where they are to where we are? How could they make that jump? No, I just can't believe it."

"Wow."

"What?"

"I just can't believe that you're arguing for a divine origin of the species."

"Look, I'm not saying that I, specifically, was made by God. I'm just saying that He got it all started."

"Whatev--hey, did you hear something?"

"Yeah, what was that?"

"I don't know, it sounded like--"

"Dude, look up."

"No way."

"I know."

"Azazel did it. He got the Gate open."

"Wow, those Winchesters are dumber than I thought. You're sure you think that idiot meat suits like that were the first demons? That all of us came from that?"

"You sure you want to waste our get out of Hell free card by talking? Come on!"

"Yeah, right behind you."

Author's Notes: Right, this idea came from what we heard from Casey, that demons believe in Lucifer like humans believe in God. But...not all humans believe in God, right? Casey even pointed out that Dean didn't. And then Ruby told us that demons used to be human. So, I sort of came up with this idea that not all demons believe in Lucifer and some take a more evolutionary stance and hence this fic of two demons having a theological debate about where demons came from.
