Okay, obviously there is something supernatural about the island they are on. The black smoke that approached Echo, the magnetic field, the whispers in the trees (Is that supposed to be The Others?) the fact that Desmond sailed away from it for 2.5 weeks and ended up back in the same place, it's peculiar effect on supposedly permanent physical disablities, etc...
And like someone else mentioned in this thread, none of the characters are actually real good or real evil, but more shades of gray.
So what I was thinking is this... And like I said it's just a theory I've been wondering about. I have nothing to base it on...
What if everyone on the plane died and the island they are on is the Christian post-death spot "purgatory"?
(In Christian lore, someone that isn't a saint, but they aren't real evil either ends up going to Purgatory when they die. It's comparable to hell, except that it's temporary and when they have paid for their sins, they are allowed in to Heaven.)
I can't shake the feeling that in the end it will turn out being something like this, but then again, I could be completely wrong. Any thoughts?
Also, has anyone noticed that Libby shows up in (usually as just a brief cameo) in almost all of the flashbacks in season 2? She was in the mental ward with Hurley, she gave her sailboat to Desmond, she asked someone (forgot who) if they were alright while having an arguement at the airport. It just seems like she is in waaaay too many of the flashbacks to be pure coincidence. Something is up with that character too.

Interesting theory. I can see some reason behind this, but let me ask this, where do Micheal and Walt go when they leave? Are they going to Heaven/Hell as opposed to being rescued?
And what about Desmond ex-fiance at the end. What is she looking for? Is she alive?(Desmond compass was probably screwed up by the magnetics of the island)
Is everyone on the island dead? Who are the 'others'? Angels taking the chosen to heaven, maybe.
Jakes father was also in quite a few peoples flash backs...
