Easy. There are just two scholars who advocate for Jesus mythicism: Robert Price and Richard Carrier. I can name at least three historians that are holocaust deniers: David Irving, Arno Mayer, and Robert Faurisson. In fact the denial movement is much bigger and has the support of well over a dozen qualified historians, the mythicism movement doesn't have anywhere near the academic support. Mythicism and Denialism are just as crazy as each other.
Uhhhh... bullshit, bullshit, and more bullshit. First, there are at least ten modern historians alone who support Jesus-as-myth, let alone historians prior to this era. On top of that, when googling "historian holocaust denial" or "historian holocaust denier", it's evident that the only name that even matters is David Irving, who is ironically enough considered, in your words, a "quack" by other historians.
You have some audacity. Holy fuck. To laugh at others for quoting or citing historians who actually have legs, and the best you can do is name those idiots? Really?
I'm not even a Jesus mythicist... I couldn't care less one way or another... but holy fuck.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
