If I recall my church days correctly, Lucifer was God's favorite(a dynamic we see with the naked space cuddling); however, rather than failing, Homucifer succeeded in her rebellion against Godoka. I can't help but feel Homura effectively trapped herself in a ninth circle of her own making in the process, though: even if Madoka forgives her, there may be no way out for her.
On a less philosophical note, for some reason the first thing that came to mind when Homura pondered about the "advanced version of skipping class" was burning the school down. Truancy never popped into my head until I read the next panel.
