Frustrated? - Page 3

Isn't it weird the fact that both dead peoples bodies disappear then show up else where in the show.. Jacks dad, Eko's brother, Walt after he was taken by the others.... Could just be me though

Hmmm, I see dead people !? lol

yea something like that =) Only Walt I don't think was dead =)

I think that is what I like about this show. People are looking for God or something to make sense in their lives. Ben beleives that God sent him a Doctor to save him. That "proves" God to him.
For some people all they need is to see the complexity of a flower.
I have a feeling that if people don't want to hear about God then you better find another show. All through recorded history ALL good stories have involved God.

Ok Hitler. ALL good stories have involved God? Which God(s)? Which stories? Stories about God are pointless, I'm not going to lie. They all end with we should love God and be nice people. Ok, we get the point. Ever heard of Troy or Odysseus, or for that matter any of the billions of awesome stories that don't involve your view on God(s)?

My point is that I hope the ending to LOST doesn't end with the same corny religious ending. I hope LOST is better than that. So far I still think it is. I was only pointing out the possibility.

I don't think you can remove God (However you may think of Him/ Her) from a show that deals so often with life, death and such a wildly diverse group of characters struggling to survive. We deal with others beliefs every day. I believe in a few things some people think are foolish and even impossible. I believe them with all my heart but, I refuse to say your way is any less valid just because I may not follow the same path. Lost may walk a thin line between the two but, I am willing to give it every chance. It is after all entertaining.

I kind of agree, let the entertainment continue. I don't care about the involvement of God and supernatural ideas in the show. I'm uncomfortable with an ending that ends like many other rather religious shows/movies that all end with the life lesson that we should love the Christian God.

My point is there are sooooooooo many other back stories and happenings that have no God in them . so why all the emphisis about that one issue .... But the point about life , death and God are all connected is true . And the other thing bout the smoke being Jacks dad ,Walt etc..... Jack found his dad's coffin , but the body was NOT there , when Echo got to the plane , Nemi's body was NOT there . So my thought is , where were they ? Who or what were Jack and Echo chasing ? I don't know if I buy the smoke imaging thing .

Counting your two references, I also made the reference that after moving the boulder aside, Ecko noticed that the coffin was gone, just like in the Bible when they noticed Jesus was gone. I see that as perfect symbolism and so I was also including that into my original thread post.

Righto, I agree I do not want the show to end in a corny religious way, the more entertaining the better, and on occasion faith vs. science is entertaining.

By the way do not call people Hitler, its kind of a mean thing to say, but you knew that already. God is not my bag of chips either (Body'O Christ Chips) but lets not call out people on religious dilemnas in the Episode Specific session. You can either start a new thread or go to this one..Faith Vs. Science

How ignorant do you sound calling someone Hitler. Totally uncalled for. Respect other people's beliefs and maybe they will respect yours. And the stories of Odysseus and Troy involve religion and gods even more than some other great Christian stories. Why not tell stories that encourage people to be better individuals? And saying that the
show focuses solely on Christian religions is total BS. The show is rampant with Taoist, Bhuddist, Jewish, Muslim, and Hindi references. I think that the point of the writers including religious characters is to make the story more realistic and show it from more than one viewpoint. And there are for sure people who are not religious on the island. Try not to be such jerks, you religious and anti-religious fanatics.
