When I say the holocaust never happened, I’m not saying Hitler actually loved Jews or that no Jews died in Stalin’s War. I am saying the gas chambers never existed and the Nazis never deliberately tried to kill all the Jews.

I also know Santa Claus doesn’t exist. I don’t deny a 4th-Century bishop named Saint Nicholas existed, but the popular version of Santa Claus climbing down chimneys, leaving gifts, etc. is a bunch of rubbish. The Holocaust is just like Santa Claus. The popularized version is not reality.

For me, the book which changed my mind was The Holocaust Exposed: Debunking the 20th Century’s Biggest Lie by Victor Thorn. I don’t believe the book is in print still and you’ll have a hard time finding a copy. However, I do suggest reading a book on the subject as the videos on the subject are subpar and delve into silly imagined conspiracies which I do not support.

Holocaust denial is most important.

Skeptics do not keep sacred cows. The Holocaust is a sacred cow many Atheists, agnostics, and others who question the existence of a deity still worship. Skeptical Deists must reject the most popular religious belief against skepticism – the Holocaust. Anyone who insists on worshipping the sacred cow of the Holocaust is not a Skeptic. The Holocaust is a religion which directly opposes reality and skepticism.

Imagined conspiracies are not welcome.

Holocaust denial is not an imagined conspiracy. Skeptical Deists are simply pointing out that when they look for gas chambers, there are none. When we look for buried remains of a hundred thousand Jews, they don’t exist. Etc.

An imagined conspiracy is when people poke holes into a perfectly plausible explanation with a ton of direct evidence. After “proving” problems with the evidence, they then declare what they believe really happened. The evidence they provide for what happened is nonexistent. Coincidences, missing evidence, and personal testimonies are the basis for imagined conspiracies.

For Skeptical Deists, coincidences are coincidences until proven otherwise. Missing evidence might be annoying, but is proof of nothing. Finally, personal testimonies are rarely helpful even when there is corroborating evidence.

So, Skeptical Deists will not attempt to replace the Holocaust with an imagined conspiracy as some Holocaust deniers do. A Skeptical Deist will simply deny what they know is not true – the Holocaust.
