I have the feeling that I will be disappointed when we find out what Lost is really about. It is like those soda cups at In and Out burger that have creepy bible passages on the bottom inside lip. Pure evil in a Christian mindfuck sort of a way.
Here is another theory that I read.
Walt is the 2nd coming of Christ. Remember - he makes things happen. “He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; of His kingdom there shall be no end” (speaking of “one Lord Jesus Christ”).
Baby Aaron is the anti-christ. Remember - he has the possibility of evil if raised by others. Also, Charlie is trying to do his best to raise him, but just got kicked to the curb by Claire. Charlie is probably of the evil nature.
Now I have added my own thoughts onto this.
There are the seven deadly sins (that were originally 8 deadly sins — oohhh one of the numbers). And there are the 10 commandments. Of which - everyone on the island is guilty of.
They are all “bearing false witness” to the Dharma computer which is already leading Michael astray by pretending to be Walt.
So - there are about a million holes to any of these theories…like what the hell is the black smoke, what is the infection, what is the difference between the “good” people that the others take, etc…
Enough for today.

Horaayy..there are 4 comment(s) for me so far ;)
ok, i honestly do not believe it has anything to do with christ… a show can not be based so heavily on religion. sure, you can take things out of the show that relate directly to the bible, but that is just what some of the characters believe in. ok my theory, the smoke is a protection system. the computers are there from something bad happening. the infection was to keep the guys operating the computer scared enough to not want to go outside (being inside a tin tube for a few years would want to make you leave right?)
the others know something about the island and are protecting themselves. They are angry at the arival of the new people. The others did something to claire and her baby (otherwise they wouldnt have taken her)
i have no idea why walt was taken, it was probably to lure in michael. the french lady knows stuff… she had the maps and notes written down. she is probably too scared to say something.
there are a lot of the others, enough to take on the newcommers, but jack wants to build his own army and take them on (which i think is a mistake, lots will die) im guessing it was just a plot to keep people watching, jack wont actually put peoples lives at risk.
there is something significant about the numbers, they are written on the hatch, they are used to add time to the computer, they were used to win the lottery, they have a curse on them.
there is something about the big black guy, he is a priest and the black smoke didnt attack him. the fact that EVERYONE was brought there for some sort of reason. the asians think they are being punished. hurley thinks its the numbers. locke thinks it was fate since he can walk now.
i want to know how the others got there, what the numbers mean etc…
by the time they reveal this to us, there will be new questions just like these ones, making us watch more. if this series ever goes off air, they better freaking end it cause the anticipation is killing me. some episodes were totally pointless and just drag on, the more recent ones are better.
so many puzzle pieces… so many possible answers.
thats my two cents
Mr Eko is the island pope.
The black smoke announced it, and baptising Claire’s baby cements it.
The fact that he’s a mass murdering bastard who is responsible for his brother’s death put a little crimp in this plot line, but what the hell, sense has nothing to do with the island.
I think it has to do with christ, i think they are all in purgatory, the others are angels who take the good and punish they other people. The button in the hatch is fake, maybe it was some test to see if a person would really press the button. Walt is special, we all know that, i think they took walt maybe because he was good, idk very much about him, or maybe they took him because he is dangoruos. The black smoke was seeing if Eko was good or bad, when we looked inside the black somke the electric flashes were photos of Eko’s past, i know this for sure beucause i have Tivo. 4+8+15+16+23+42=108! if you put those # into cuordinates, it shows a island in the south pacific, pretty wierd.
Of course you will be disappointed if you start to believe that complex story, with intertwined story lines, subtle references and cleverly hidden hints can be reduced to simple theroy in 20 lines in some crackpot forum.
Yes. Actually, it really is so shallow, and all of it that you enjoy is just a nonrelevant decoration.
Ah. I have read the forums too. One thing that I remember was that it was supposedly said by the Lost writers that the Island is definitely *not* the purgatory.
