Just thinking...

If Abbaddon is Satan, or the "Gatekeeper of Hell," then did the Losties sell their souls?

Think about it:

Hurley - To win the lottery
Jack - To save his (future/ex) wife
Locke - To walk again/know his father
Sawyer - To find the real Sawyer
Kate - To avoid life in jail

I'm betting you could come up with something for each character.

So, did the Losties forget they had sold their souls (a la Mickey Rourke's character in Angel Heart) and were brought to the island to "remember?"

Or brought to the island to be saved/redeemed?

This would offer a possible explanation for Abbaddon's wanting to find Hurley (and likely the rest of the Oceanic Six), and could also be an explanation for why they now want to go back.

Maybe Charlie redeemed himself and is now an angel, trying to protect Hurley and the rest of the Six?

Just some thoughts... comments?
