LOST and the Story of Job

Alright, so this theory is basically working off of season 5. So just off the bat, I’m gonna come straight out with my theory (well really my dad’s, but he didn’t want to bother writing it. :P) Anyways, I believe that LOST is telling the story of Job (pronounced “Jobe”) from the bible. In the story of Job, God and Satan have an argument. Satan tell God that humanity has always, and will always be corrupt, while God believes that humanity still has a chance to be pure.

    I agree with everything you stated.

    The book that Jacob was reading is called, “Everything that Rises Must Converge” by an early 20th century author, Flannery O’Connor. It’s a compilation of 9 short stories about human nature. It’s considered a brilliant piece of literature about the human condition.

    I ordered it on Amazon already.
