No. Accept an MJ, and civilization will eventually collapse, because the woo-think behind MJ will make matters ripe for the further acceptance of those more crucial and destructive nostrums like Holocaust denial, evolution denial, etc.
I have already posted why comparison of the MJ to Holocaust denial is perhaps the most dishonest morally bankrupt position a HJer can present but it is well worth showing it again:
"
Holocaust comparison or how to scrape the bottom of a barrel in the stupidest way possible
Comparison with the Holocaust is really bad, as there were 3,000 tons of truly contemporary (i.e. between 1938-1945) records presented at the 1945-1946 Nuremberg Trials. (
Combating Holocaust Denial: Evidence of the Holocaust presented at Nuremberg United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) The 1958 finding aids (eventually the index to the Holocaust evidence) was 62 volumes--just 4 books shy of the number of books (66) traditionally in the entire Bible! Then between 1958 and 2000 they added another 30 volumes, bringing the total to 92. (

To put this in perspective, comparing the existence of Jesus to the Holocaust is essentially claiming:
1) there would have to be 3,000 tons of written records dating from 6 BCE to 36 CE showing Jesus existed
2) the most powerful government of the world (i.e. Rome) collected said evidence no later then 36 CE
3) the evidence was presented no later then 37 CE; AND
4) there was a 62 volume index of this evidence dating no later than 44 CE and a 92 volume index of this evidence dating from no later then 92 CE.
The total insanity of such a position shows just how desperate apologists are." (
Evidence for the historical existence of Jesus Christ)
Education itself is being dumped on with such nostrums, and once education itself is scoffed at as elitist and sissy and unnecessary by the 99% who are socially engineered to be militantly ignorant and macho, the 1% with a decent education who are deliberately devolving your level of education with malicious intent will laugh at you under their sleeves all the way to the bank, as the 99% become more and more suggestible and more and more cretinous and zombie-like, which is the 1%'s game plan. Who knows? Mytherism may be their field test to raise the suggestibility of the increasingly ignorant for even more important lies like climate denial.
Sorry Stone, but this rambling makes Jack Chick's off the wall paranoid nonsense look
sane by comparison.
Holocaust denial, evolution denial, and moon landing hoax all require fundamental denial of mammoth amounts of actually
contemporary evidence (See
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution regarding this for Evolution).
What do we have for Jesus?
1) A guy writing down the talks he has with a vision. There is even a term for this: Spectral evidence. The Salem Witch Trials show how well
that works.
2) A selection of four of the 30+ Gospels known to have existed which there is no proof of before 130 CE as not a single Churchman so much as quotes from them. All attempts to push the date back further then that requires paleographic dating which is a last resort method...which based on what Brent Nongbr says regarding the variables of might as well involve Tarot decks, Ouija boards, and Rorschach inkblots. In other words paleographic dating for practical purposes comes off as modern day Phrenology for dating documents ie a pseudoscience. While some of people used are known historical figures the events described can be shown to be total fiction using other records.
3) Then we have questionable documents that have either been tampered with, seem to be only repeating the 2nd century equivalent of an urban myth, or just that Christianity itself (rather then its supposed founder) existed. John Frum shows that as little as 17 years is all is needed for oral tradition to eradicate any real founder and replace him with a composite person that in all likelihood never existed. It also shows you don't need a flesh and blood founder to kick off a movement..just the idea and based on what Josephus tells us the Messiah will liberate us from the Romans idea was producing would be liberators from Simon of Peraea c4 BC all the way to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE.
Let's be truthful here. The evidence for a historical Jesus is poor to laughable bad; one could argue it is on par with the evidence presented by Bermuda Triangle supporters who when they aren't distorting events aren't above making up disappearances out of whole cloth (Kusche, Lawrence David (1975)
The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved)
