Topic 1. Are we unfairly smearing Dawkins?

Yes, on the God Delusion anyway, which is all I've read of him on this topic

Topic 2. Lets argue over Dawkins arguments.

Why? None are original, so we've seen it all before and it's not going to change the mind of a committed believer.

Absolutely agree.

His position about religion about science and religion are not new, there are other people around iand in history and in the showbiz with simialr or identical narrative...

So we bascilly can discuss about what is the better way to deal with the attack agaisnt ilustration adn how to push back.. I have done it here at length .. adn maybe Ted Welch would like to see what we had to say about hose arguments.

As you may know I think his approach is not the good one to pushback... maybe is becausae I live in secualr Spain where everuybody is catholic adnd ther eis no attack int he church hierarchy (well until now) against basci scientific "how" theories...

My point of view here is bascially thatbrit one..so I hardly have naything new to say.

But it is worth stressing that one think is not respecting Dawkins as a cscientists (which I do not) and another is respecting his pundit view.. though There is a bunch of people who disagree with the approach....

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
