Say if John Locke can be resurrected on Lost, and Jack's dad, why does anybody ever die on the island? Or are there more people not dead that died?

The island apparently is able to bring people back with/without an understanding of the island.
I can't figure out why it's using Jack's dad so much, or why boon & his sister, or the priest, or Charlie, or numerous others haven't come back in some way.
Also, where is Claire?
I'm usually good a figuring out scenarios like this but Lost has got me stumped...ironically enough.

The only common thread I see is maybe you have to die off the island to be revived by the island. But strange doesn't Locke seem to heal faster than anyone else on the island anyway.

One of Ben's henchmen, who was shot in the head on the island came back.

That's something they have a lot of explaining left to go on actually.
We've seen Hurley respond to people who died on the island, that nobody else seems to notice. If it were just him, we'd be able to chalk it up to his craziness and walk away. But Michael interacted with Tom off the island, and Tom wasn't a hallucination.
On that same note, let's take a look at Christian Shepherd now. He did the ghost thing plenty since season one, starting with almost leading his son off a cliff until more recently hanging with Claire in Jacob's cabin. We just saw him there guiding Locke at the donkey wheel, refusing to lend him a hand as if he were only a spirit of some sort and couldn't do so. Now we come to our recent crash of the Aljira jet, where he not only pulls a picture off the wall but hands it over as well.
Yes, they have a lot to explain yet.

any idea what the statue was pak? I'm rather sure it was egyptian, what with all the hieroglyphics, but i'm not certain. and what about the 2 bodies they found in the cave in the first season (i think).
I think Christian didn't lend john a hand because that would give away that he was real, the writers made so the audience would keep guessing.

If you watch that last secrets and recap vid, where we get a brief glimpse of the statue, he gives a few possible answers-all of them Egyptian. You get a nice still frame which shows what looks like an ankh in each of the statues' hands. Yes, there are hieroglyphics >everywhere< on this island-kinda like meteor rock in Smallville.
As for the identity of 'Adam & Eve', he does a little trick with an anagram that the producers suggested was in a particular episode that points to Rose & Bernard being that duo.
As for Christian not helping Locke in the cave, I believe if he was real he'd want to stay far away from that thing and not get ejected into the middle east right alongside Locke. I'm not convinced entirely he was tangible and yet, at the same time, Locke couldn't have just dreamt him up along with the 'say hi to my son' line.

I bet if he leaves the island he's dead for real, or deader than he is now. Something. It's confusing. But I bet leaving the island is not an option for Christian or Locke now.

But then Hurley saw dead people off the island.

The people Hurley saw, nobody else could-except maybe Michael.
I believe you're right about Christian and Locke not being able to leave now.
