I agree, which is why I'm taking conspiracy theories LESS seriously after hitting a slew of them with christian undertones.

Weird that I like the Bible and some of it's teachings but am not deluded about giving my power away to a very misconstrued character. We might as well say Shannon is the reincarnated messiah. PRAISE HIM!
As far as I understand, all of our past/future lives are happening right now and concurrent with this life. Time doesn't actually have a direction, like forward and back. Due to the holographic nature of reality, changes made in this lifetime will immediately ripple outwards and effect the other ones. I've experienced this personally to very great effect through aboriginal healing methods.
Interesting.
I don't believe in linear time either. Nor do I believe in past/future lives however. IMO, the belief of past and future lives is a way to subdue people into thinking "ok, I'll get rich/famous/whatever NEXT life" or, equally as bad: "I was rich/famous/whatever in my previuous life, and now I'm 'paying for it' "
If religion has one theme it is this: Goodness requires you to be of no consequence, while those who are rich and powerful are always "evil". You can find that theme in every religion, even Buddhism to which I identify with most (not for it's religion, but for some observations it has made, especially in regards to Zen).
Here are some vids from youtube tho. Within the first few minutes you will see a reference to christianity, if not the entire theme of the movie.
