The theory of the movie "The Matrix" was actually put out to the public by a German philosopher in 1942..there are people and educated ones who believe we live in the matrix..it's all pre-progammed and out of our control...including our deaths...
Then you have people who strongly believe in the Akashic records...which are suppose to be files kept on us on the other side that mapped out most of our lives...but then you have to debate the free will aspect in all of that..here is what wiki says about the akashic records..
Now taking it a bit further...in regards to the law of attraction so many people suddenly got into...there is a though you can attract your own physical death..
The Final Destination films use the entitification of death as a device. This is a development of ancient mythological traditions portraying death as an angel or creature or scythe-carrying skeleton etc..
Classic idea for an X-Files script but I think that's as far as it goes.
Surely, if what each individual does is pre-determined, there'd be no need for christianity; nor for any other religion which believes in "sin".
What would be the point of someone sent to "die for our sins"? Or of god "judging" us, and either rewarding or punishing us? Without free-will there's neither faith nor sins.
There is no 'need' for them anyway but if everything is pre-determined there is also no way of avoiding the invention of those religions, their rise and fall etc.
