My REAL Lightsaber
We know close to nothing about Rose and Bernard
Alright, that's true... but when people typically have big secrets in their past, they are revealed in a flash back. I sort of assumed because they didn't have a suspicious flashback, and because they're pretty straight forward people, you know, honest, up-front, not manipulative liars, etc, that they're pretty decent people. That also stands to reason, the others are capturing the "good people" that were on the plane... so not everyone who was on the plane was an evil sinner.

...Locke was growing and distributing marijuana. If selling marijuana isn't a sin, I don't know what is.
Ehrm... Locke was just living there, we don't know for sure that he was growing it or selling it, he was just a part of the community. And I personally don't think that growing marijuana is a "sin." It's illegal, sure, but not like they were making meth or crack or something that kills people.

Eko did repent. That's why he was building the church and he was carrying around his "Jesus stick" with all the Bible verses on it.
Here's a bit I'm taking from Lostpedia.
Lostpedia
Eko shows his cross to Yemi, who reaches out and cradles it in his fingers. Eko says,
"I ask for no forgiveness, Father, for I have not sinned. I have only done what I needed to do to survive." Yemi lets go of the cross. Referring to Daniel asking if Eko was a bad man, Eko says that when he was a small boy he killed a man to save his brother's life--
and that he is not sorry for this, he is proud of it. Then Eko kneels before Yemi and extends his arms, palms upward in supplication. He appeals, and says to the Yemi-like figure:
"I did not ask for the life I was given, but it was given nonetheless. And with it, I did my best."He was sorry that his brother died, but he didn't kill his brother, so he did not repent for that. He was sorry that the church got closed down, but he was only defending himself, so he wasn't really
sorry. He owed Yemi a church, and so he tried to build one.
I think there's a bit of a difference between someone being sorry that something happened and actually repenting for doing something wrong. That's more of a philosophical debate, though.
Another thing though, how is Boone a sinner because he loved Shannon? And we didn't find out if/that Libby had done anything wrong.
I feel the need to continue
sweatdrop I mean, Hurley never intentionally hurt anyone, and neither did Claire. Michael had been a good person before he got to the island. As someone brought up, what could Walt, or the other kids have done to be "evil?" After all, they're just kids. What did Jack do? Is being a work-a-holic and a not-great-husband a sin?
