Much like MIB convincing Ben to kill Jacob.
But the main reason I bring this up is that despite the show runners claims that the island isn't hell or purgatory, they've been dropping plenty of clues along the way that it IS hell or purgatory, with Cooper's proclamation, the fact that many of the Losties have murdered and now, last night's episode.
I hope they throw us a curve ball because if this is true, it's not a very creative explanation. They could have come up with something much cooler, IMO.

I hear you, man. And I agree. If that's the ultimate "answer" or explanation... I'll be a disappointed as well.
But I think these little references are again more metaphorical. I also think they could be sublte little inside jokes to the fans.
Maybe I'm naive, but I just can't believe they're l
iterally in Hell. If they are what was the point of Jacob slamming Richard into the ocean? I don't know. Fingers crossed.
I still have faith. But I completely understand your trepidation.
