Maybe the characters had some how been prevented from going to heaven and the Devil keeps trying to kill them to bring them to Hell (and since he's the Devil, he makes it complete torture a lot) but God doesn't want them to go to Hell because they're not bad people (even the main antagonists all have actual reasons for their actions) so he tries to prevent this by bringing them back to life and their town just became this battleground between God and the Devil creating the situation we know and love.

…I like this theory. Screw the time paradox. This is going to be my new head theory.
