If they stick with this "the island is hell" thing, it makes a whole lot of sense.
Jacob is God thus why he can go anywhere he wants. Notice he is always a presence amongst the Losties but never when they necessarily want answers or need him. But he always remains a presence. And good things don't always happen just because he's there even though he is good (The presence of God yet babies are murdered, raped, etc). Like when Richard went to him and got "baptized", notice how he said he couldn't bring his wife back (because God doesn't bring people back), but he could grant him everlasting life (free will/salvation).
MIB is the devil, he can't leave Hell (the island) because God keeps him there (like the original story), but the devil can still influence people. Same way God can influence people. Notice how they're always recruiting people. Same way people are influenced by the good and evil (god and the devil) everyday. And the devil is supposed to have many forms (ie Flocke, MIB, etc.)
Ben was a zealot, believing in Jacob even though he had never seen him. Even going so far as to tell the others that he spoke to him (kinda like a lot of religions with so called prophets claiming to have spoke to God). Then when he finally met him he said you never spoke to me (kind of a losing his religion moment).
I kinda believe that maybe thats why the show is called Lost, representing lost souls deciding which way they are going to go.
This is all random thoughts spewed out, so don't take it as something concrete. Just my .02.

I like this, but I'd still be a little disappointed if it were true.

Yeah I like your two cents Kingofilladelph. I think the writers constantly try to throw things that try and sway viewers to opposite thinking.

I like everything you said there, it makes a lot of sense. Non-religious folk may be a bit turned off by it but

I liked when Richard returned to MIB, and MIB said to him all disappointed, "You let him talk to you...
"
If I was Richard, I'd be like, "Nah, he mollywhopped me and tried to drown me in the ocean
."

i thought the hell thing was just made up by the MIB to get his way. but reading that kinda made sense. but really i think the lost writers are just too damn smart to actually be religious. unless their big fans of the "story" of god.

He (this time in Locke form) also said it to him in the first ep of this season, but I think he was talking more about being figuratively "chained" to Jacob as his messenger or what have you.

Another good question is:
Who did we see in the cabin?
We know it wasn't Jacob. It didn't look like MIB. Who?

The producers said that it was just some random that wont be in the series again. I cant remember if they mentioned anything about whether he was supposed to be Jacob or not.
Anyways, this episode:

Anyone felt like they were watching The Book of Job or something?
The way Good and Evil have this relationship where they can talk to one another about humanity and if all of us are truly fallible or not.
It seems like Flocke (Evil) want's to turn this dynamic into a chaotic scenario where he can unleash vengence on people's sins without judging them.

Best episode in a long time. I was losing the lost magic and this episode has brought me back. Maybe due to no sideways flashes. Loved that richard was spanish.
