Well ignoring the fact that tarring people who dont believe in theory X as 'probably holocaust deniers' being incredibly offensive I shall answer your point as if it were serious.
Millions went through the camps and thousands survived them, the Nazis didnt really bother trying to hide them until the final weeks so the Allies had everything from the buildings, the inmates, the guards, the rotting heaps of corpses, the 'final solution' documents etc. etc.
Counter that with the moon landings - we have some signals beamed from the moon, some bits of film that could easily be reproduced on the earth and some moon rocks that could have been recovered by a robot - oh and 3 guys who say they went there - hopefully you can see the orders of magnitude difference in the amount of evidence for these events?
I never said Moon Landing Deniers were holocaust deniers. Just that the level of evidence was similar (loads) and therefore that our willingness to assert its truth should be similar. My point was precisely that our belief in something should entirely depend on the level of evidence rather than how denying it makes us look. e.g. Deny Holocaust = Look Racist. Deny Moon Landing = Look cool to 12 year olds on the internet.
