R. is not an avid blog reader, but he does read one blog religiously. Not many days ago his favorite blogger posted the following brief entry.
"One difference between Glenn Beck and me: while we both assume people are greedy, I happen to think that greed is evil." (http://robbyprenkert.blogspot.com/2010/03/compare-and-contrast.html )
He--that is, R.--has been reading Nietzsche, as well. He thinks that he could write a reply. "One difference between Nietzsche and me: while we both assume people are greedy, I happen to think that greed (the will to power) is evil."
Which leads him to a related and obvious thought, of course. It is not so much the fact that Nietzsche and Beck share a worldview that troubles him. It is the masses of unthinking evangelical Christians who have so blindly devoured Beck's Nietzschean, 'anti-Christ,' rhetoric that worry him.
