Destiny
Time is not a box of options, but much like the sea of water. There are currents and movements and our understanding of time is like a boat boring through the ocean waves and currents. All time was recorded long before we left the dock and the boats trek is part of the recording and all the events from the splash against the bow to the docking at the destination exists already in the book of time. Our destiny, yours and mine were written in the book of time from the beginning.
Much like ten songs recorded on a vinyl disk. All the songs exist on the record and you play them one song after another. The needle of time is set on Now.
Also much like a movie, no matter how many times you watch it, it always ends the same.
You know how difficult (or impossible) it is to change the past. The future is only the past that has not happened yet. Every movement, any gust of wind and every drop of rain already exists in the recording of all time.
If good and evil are not an issue in this life and all our destinies are sealed, then it is reasonable to understand that all of us, from the mass murderer to the saint has the same destiny. We all go to heaven, judgement is not a factor. We are here to experience Gods creation in its many forms and in our many forms.

In reference to comments received: Destiny vs Free Will.
I ask that you participate in this little demonstration. Place your elbow on the table with your arm and hand perpendicular (straight up). Let your arm and hand down until you smack it on the table. It was part of your destiny that you would slap the table at that particular moment. Hold your hand up again and this time your destiny says you will slap the table in six seconds. Then count to six then drop your hand again to the table. This too was destiny.
Now place your hand up again, this time only destiny knows when you will slap the table. You can try to fool destiny and almost pretend to slap the table but stop. Use your free will and slap or not slap the table at an unforeseen time. You slap the table unexpectedly.
Now your destiny is part of the past. That same destiny existed in the realm of knowledge of everything before you were born. You had free will to slap the table anytime you decided, but that slap was destined in the knowledge of everything, past, present, and future
There may even exist a precise calculation formula that takes into consideration you, the type of person you are, aggressive or passive, and what you are likely to do or not to do. In fact that formula existed on the day you were born and you have been following it precisely day by day, minute by minute. I know this sounds like Astronomy but this special pre-born formula is so precise it knows exactly what you will do tomorrow as well as the intermingling of your destiny with the destiny of others.
Every answer I could hear and understand in the question and answer period in my near death experience was amazingly simple. (See About Me) If the answer is complicated it is likely not the answer. This is why I reject a multi-universe theory because it is about as complicated as a theory can get.
