"Yeah, shame on you, imagine never having nearly ended the world. You're not any of us. You don't need to copy us to be worth anything."
He doesn't know a great deal about Castiel's idiot mistakes, though, only that they were made and apparently involved Leviathans... and Balthazar's death. The latter isn't something he's inclined to dwell on. He's not even sure if Balthazar's been through it - he thinks not, but he can't really know, not for certain, and it's not the sort of thing one asks about.
"I think we were at a disadvantage." It's the first time he's said it, really. The first time he's been quite so honest with anyone who knows he really is about how he feels about their Father. "If He wanted us to think for ourselves instead of guessing and getting it wrong, He should've told us we were allowed to. If there's a fault, it's not in us, it's in Him."
After all, no matter how much he loves and understands and agrees with God, he can't forgive Him. Not entirely. And for all the flaws the angels have as individuals, he's certain there are none that are inherent to them as a whole - some that they almost all have in common, but those are their Father's fault, for the most part, not their own. It doesn't mean he thinks that they're faultless, far from it, but just like the humans, their flaws are their own, not those of the species.
