I am tending to lean towards Widmore being the "good guy" in all of this. His past issues with Desmond could have been a result of protecting his daughter and IIRC nearly everything else he has done or been involved with has been honest and straightforward (with the possible exception of Alex, but I don't know if he "gave that order" or not).
I mentioned this in the other thread, but Lost is seeming to take on more of a "Christianity" theme. I wonder if Locke was "dead" for three days?

There has been a strong Christianity theme in the show since the beginning, but there are also strong Buddhist and Taoist themes all along (light/dark, DHARMA and its octagon logo, etc.). Take for example the 3 "J" names: Jack, John (Locke), and James (Sawyer); 3 guys who emerge as leaders, although they have vastly different personal philosophies. 3 guys with J names (one of them being "Shepherd") that are chosen as "Special" by the Others. 3 guys with serious "daddy issues."
There is also the CS Lewis connection; as we all know, almost everything Lewis wrote was meant as a Christian parable. Charlotte's name is basically CS Lewis, the "Light Post" was the landmark by which the kids can find their way home in Narnia, and in "Prince Caspian," a little boy is sent to live with his Uncle - a man that does not get along with his father - after his mother's death (will this be the case with Little Charlie? Desmond=father, Penny=mother, Widmore="uncle"?)
