"People deny the Holocaust happened even though there are still surviving witnesses to this day. The willfully blind will stay that way regardless of evidence." <<<"Irrelevant. The existence of idiots does not nullify all arguments. People also deny the earth is round, or that we have been to the moon, or that "Jesus" was a myth figure. FEW educated people deny the systematic genocide of Jews.">>> Very relevant! Few Holocaust deniers are as you put it, "idiots" many of them are quite well educated. It's just that their agenda of hatred for the Jews clouds their judgment and causes them to interpret any evidence contrary to their view as a myth or a conspiracy. <<<"Why would I (or anyone, for that matter) deny the resurrection of Jesus if it were historically indicated? DUH??">>> Why? There are lots of possible reasons but here is what Jesus says on the matter. "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." (John 3:19-20) Same reason they don't use their real names on si I suppose.
