I myself enjoy the show a great deal. And I don't mind them trying to add new concepts into the show just as long as it's grounded and sensible as you've said. The main problem is that the writers aren't doing that by this point. I've told the Darkness plot (particularly how it's older and supposedly more powerful than God) to a number of friends who are atheist/agnostic and they thought it was downright ridiculous. A few retcons I don't mind either, but I also share your thought sabout how retconning things too many times has caused the show's quality to drop. For me, the darkness storyline would've better if they didn't try to use it to put limits on the idea of God. As I've before on other posts how Supernatural isn't the first series to use the "anti-God" idea except Supernatural is the only show to try and dumb down God.
