Are you really comparing the intellectually dishonest tactics of evolution deniers with rational, well-informed people who dismiss the deluded ravings of holocaust deniers?
That is some seriously messed-up thinking.

the problem is when you want to prevent that person from saying it.
I happen to think that cretins who want to argue holocaust denial should be allowed to do so. I disagree with the law in Germany that makes it a criminal offense. Let is be said in public and then let the imbeciles who argue for it be exposed with facts and evidence as the lying charlatans that they are.
Yes I have examined both sides of this debate. That is why I have no hesitation in saying you are an idiot.
By the way just because you should have right to say stupid things doesn't mean Simon has to let you say them here.

How do we know JWs are wrong and how do we convince others JWs are wrong: logic versus persuasion
by slimboyfat inwe like to think we are logical and have good reasons for for our beliefs.
no more so than when it comes to our reasons for rejecting the truth claims of jws.
we reject their version of history, such as the date of the fall of jerusalem, because it doesn't agree with the historical evidence.

I ask you to consider if there may have been influences you were not aware of
I have reflected many times on the most significant decision of my life. There were no other influences. It was about cold hard facts. It was not true therefore I left.

One of the most important aspects of persuasion is social proof. We see other people leaving JWs and this persuades us that there are good reasons for leaving JWs.
That had nothing to do with why I left. I didn't know any ex-JWs.
It was 100% based on facts and evidence. I researched doctrines using only the bible and WT library including many of Russell's and Rutherford's books.
Logical arguments only work with people are are already convinced.
I was entirely convinced the WT was the Truth when I discovered a flaw in the doctrine. It was about facts and nothing else for me. I'm certain I'm not unique.

Reflect on the degree of the conspiracy that would be required to make Irving's ravings credible.
It would take thousands of people who were unknown to each other to relate the same experiences, containing countless verifiable details, consistently over seven decades.
What possible motive could anybody have for accusing all those victims of lying? CJ - DId it not occur to you to investigate the evidence before publicly promoting the lies of this fool?

If you really want help from all that I urge you and orphan to pick up a bible and read through ...everybody should read the bible and with a very critical eye - Looter
I read the bible many times. I object to slavery - therefore your god is beneath my contempt.
