Hitler

[Pat Lacey]

With reference to public speaking and atheism advocacy, did he ever truly have one?

I always found him insipid and generally rude, with none of the incendiary liveliness of Hitchens. Hitchens was the one who nuked any residual theism in me; I only persisted through "The God Delusion" out of I guess misguided teenage commitment to 'the cause' which Hitchens kindled.

Some of Dawkins' scientific writing is good, but his New Atheism work is really grinding and abrasive, when it's not lifeless.

Yeah, Dawkins has long since exceeded his best by date.

Hey, I heard Dawkins live once a while ago. With my full attention to his manifested self, not his same-old, same-old unoriginal " ideas". My perception: an aggressive missionary for his non-religion which makes him as bad as proselytizing missionaries, IMHO.

Not to sound messianic, or prohetic, but....Dawkins.
The awesome thing about Dawkins, is that he's an archetype of lower consciousness. He will be dismissed.  The hilarious thing, about that dude, is that he will reject it all...til he's in his tomb.
Dawkins has the massive ego that will never allow him to acknowledge that something is manifesting outside his perview.
Everything on this planet was given, all living things, all rocks, all crystals, all dimensions.  It's circularity about the Sun.  This stuff didn't happen by accident.  How absurd is that.  It was an act of consciousnees, simply put, on a higher level than we yet perceive.  The Moon is 2160 miles across.  That's what, one 12th of a cosmic cycle.  Etc.
If you look at DaVinci's picture of the man with spread arms and legs, not only is the star tetrahedron there, but if you proportion the top part, it fits exactly the dimension of the Moon, relative to the body, the Earth proportion.
Why would DaVinci know that?
He wasn't human.
How does this relate to Pynchon?
Well, Pynchon is laughing.  Dawkins is bullshitting.
