But...I think one of the BIG problems with the whole "god is real" thing, is that you have to explain why bad things happen.
Only if God is good. Which is the problem with having introduced Angels: God is Good is part of that deal. It creates a circle almost impossible to square; SPN is trying to get around it by implying that maybe God's notion of "good" and the human notion of "good" don't mesh too well, but I don't think they're succeeding.
(And Meg wasn't actually sent back to hell in BUaBS anyway right?)
I think the scene in BUABS is ambiguous: it was an exorcism, so maybe she was sent back to Hell...but they'd abandoned the exorcism by the time Bobby thought to break the binding spell so maybe not. Either way, she'd found her way out once before, so why not again?
