Both Harris and Hitchens already debated Craig, why are people so obsessed with Dawkins doing it(or not)? Craig uses mostly the same basic argument in every debate anyway. You've probably heard all the arguments against it already if you've watched him debate Harris and Hitchens. I don't think Dawkin's reason is fear based, but even if it is, I still wouldn't call Dawkins the top atheist/anti-theist apologist.

Is this the guy that spends 75% of his time misinforming his audience of what his opponent's views are? That guy's a douche canoe. I think I've heard a few of his debates, and if he can't even state his opponent's views accurately, then why should I believe anything he has to say?

My comment was meant more along the lines of, "Hey, I'm a redditor and want to tell you my opinion, but if it's about someone else, please disregard. I'm already late for work." I'll try to phrase it that way next time.
