Every last minute of my life has been preordained and I'm sick and tired of it. How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: the Italian Renaissance penciled in for right after the Dark Ages..The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Postmodern Era, then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and the tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished. . Chuck Palahniuk
About This Quote

It's been said that no one truly understands what the phrase “the daily planner” means. The meaning of this phrase is often a subject of debate. However, the word planner has a very specific meaning, and it is easy to see why so many people find it hard to understand. The word planner does not have a simple meaning.

It has a loaded meaning because of context around its use. People may assume that it means God or the universe as a whole as opposed to an individual person, but this is not necessarily true. In fact, planners are very personal.

Many people believe that God is the source of their plans regardless of whether or not they have any proof of that being true. They believe that regardless of how little evidence there is for God, that if they keep believing in him then their plan will come to fruition without fail. This belief can be dangerous because people who hold this belief will often try to use their religion as justification for almost anything they do, no matter how immoral.
