God has ulterior motives despite his "dickery" tendencies. I believe behind his dick exterior, lies a benevolent entity. We will see this in the next two seasons. He has resurrected Cas over a couple of times. Helped out the Winchesters both directly and indirectly.

You have your own reasons on why God locked them up. And I have mine. Given what was shown on the Supernatural series, the leviathans are no physical match to the archangels. Lucifer, in his rapidly deteriorating weakend Nick vessel, took the Colt at point blank range for the 10 count. In his Sam condom, he flat out ignored it when Bobby shot him with it. Edgar was KO'ed for about a little more than a minute when a car fell on top of him and was permanently incapacitated when he was decapitated. Michael and Lucifer have the durability to withstand firepower and blows that can wipe out more than half the planet. That is durability that's far far superior than that to any leviathan. Since we are going by feats that were shown on the series, Archangels wins hands down. The Leviathans are all hype.
