Is Lost Getting a Little WWJD?

Are you people watching Lost? I never watched an episode until a recent stint two months ago where I hung out with two male friends and we watched the series from beginning to present. It was an intense experience full of taco bell and barely wanting to leave the couch (are you so jealous?). So, I'm trying to keep up with the season and I'm noticing a pattern of Good, Evil, God, Devil, and a son. I think Richard's character has some similarities to Jesus. He's given the gift of immortality so he's not actually human, as well as the job of watching over the island. Hmmm.

It's definitely not an original story and it is tiring to see white meaning good and black meaning bad (I mean...really?), but it's there without even having to look hard. So my question is...does Richard now have to die just as Jesus died? Will Richard die "for the island"? And so often for each character the island is either a hell or heaven for them so that will be interesting to play out. Either way, this season is getting a little God like and I have no clue if it's going to be a good storyline or an overused cliche.
