Okay, I've got a lot on my mind today, and I know that if I don't post it now, I'll totally forget. So: here is your Lost discussion entry for later tonight.

Yeah, but it was better than afterlife insurance (which is, granted, how most people understand it, but a very simplified understanding).
But if you read Mark, it's at the baptism in the Jordan when the Holy Spirit or God (well, same person if you're a trinitarian) says "This is my beloved son", and John is all "whoa, my cousin is the one I've been clearing the way for."
In some earlier theological understandings of the nature of Christ, that's when Jesus stops being the carpenter's son from Nazareth and starts to be the Messiah. The whole Virgin Birth and being sinless from the start is a later theological development. But one that Eko should have been taught if he learned from priests who were Roman Catholics or Anglicans.
