Ed's style of debate can be summed up in two words, "Creationist Liar".

Ed, when I offer an opinion you can consider it right or wrong. That's up to you. Calling me a creationist liar proves nothing except perhaps that you are limited in your ability to intellectually oppose my opinion so you resort to what you guys call ad hominem argumentum. I think that's what you call it at any rate.

Richard Dawkins: “Society, for no reason that I can discern, accepts that parents must have an automatic right to bring their children up with particular religious opinions and can withdraw them from say, biology classes that teach evolution.”

If you think that is the writing of a man in favor of religious liberty, you're whacked. But perhaps you should ask Dawkins if his evil twin wrote it?

You're a real piece of work, using an out of context quote to support a lie. Not only that, the quote doesn't even call for a ban on religion as you have claimed he does.

The man has denied it directly.

That says nothing about his wanting to ban it though, just that he doesn't like it much. I think you are reading too much into it.
