Ben and Roger

When trying to think of Ben as a Good Guy, one fact always gets in the way: he killed his Father.
And yet, Locke killed his Father (via James) and is considered to be a Good Guy. Not only Ben, but also Ageless Richard told Locke he had to kill his Father.
Maybe "Killing your Father" is a necessary step on the Path to becoming the Family Richard Leader.
Maybe these Murdered Fathers get Happily Resurrected like Locke has in 507, making their Deaths a Promotion.
Maybe "you have to kill your Father" was part of the agreement whereby hand-chopping Charles Widmore was "tricked" off the Island.
