Glenn Beck is hardly someone whose enthusiasm you should welcome.

He has a creationist agenda that he has found a way to support with the ideas surrounding the topic of the Singularity.

Yeah, well, I view a compartmentalized belief in something like Creationism as practically harmless - unless its holder is directly involved with the relevant fields of science, ofc. No, I was expressing concern about his ideological stance and his apparent view of society, which I find much less wise and much more harmful than, say, traditional European-style conservatism. You can tell that a commie like me is deeply alarmed when I start praising the latter! (But hush, this is veering off.)
