In Christianity, there are stories where gatherings of people are hearing the Word of God, whether through the Holy Spirit or the apostles, and they each hear it in their own language. I loved how Lost seemed to be doing just that. As a Christian, I saw the island as the Garden of Eden. I theorized how MIB could be the fallen angel Satan (back before we knew he was just a man once). A small part of me even wondered if Jacob was going to rise up again on the third day (boy was I way off on that one!) and after that weird 'madonna and child' dream sequence with Claire and Aaron (definitely Christian themed there, no doubt!) I thought Aaron was the second coming of the Messiah (another one just slightly off!). But the point in the end was that we could all see the story from our own perspectives and translate the meaning to fit our own beliefs. The only 'faith' that wasn't supported in the end was 'science'.
Now that it's all over, I'd like to thank the members who've supported my 'Christian-leaning' posts (we did start off in the beginning with a dead guy named Christian Shephard! Seriously, what was I supposed to think?!) But also, thanks to the members who've politely disagreed without being insulting. That's respect. That's acceptance. That's class. That's what the world needs more of.
