Red flags for mythicists: fringe scholarly support + primarily internet bloggers = gullibility warning; comparable to moon landing denialism and Holocaust denial

Licona argues that when a position is held only by a handful of scholars none of whom are respected in their field, and mainly forwarded by internet bloggers, this should be a red flag. Believing mythicism would place someone in the same credibility category as moon landing deniers and Holocaust deniers — not necessarily unintelligent, but gullible. He cites Heaven's Gate cult members (some were engineers) as an example of intelligent but gullible people.
