If you want to dislike him for his tactics, I will grant you that. I am not really here to defend Dawkins. I'm just trying to clear up how this specific fallacy can be applied. It happens a lot with this one.

But it's very simple! Dawkins is trying to discredit the Judeo-Christian God. He does so via insults. This results in the fallacy of an ad hom.

No, that is not an ad hominem for the same reason I stated before.

I'm going to stop trying this one with you. You aren't worth this much effort. Call that insult an ad hominem if you want, but you'd still be wrong. Wink
I don't believe you. Get over it.
