"Lunatic, Liar or Lord?" is referred to as Lewis' Trilemma. C.S.
Lewis in his book Mere Christianity looked at the life of Jesus to
conclude that he couldn't have been either a lunatic or a liar so
he must have been God. Not so fast, according to our guest. C.
J.Werlemen checks out he story of Jesus as according to the gospels
and the epistles and the Acts of the Apostles and based on the
contradictory stories and versions of stories told in the New
Testament Jesus was more likely a liar. If Jesus existed at all, CJ
finds, there is no way we can say that he was Lord. I am going to
talk to C.J. about his new book from Dangerous Little Books. Jesus
Lied - He Was Only Human: Debunking the New Testament is one of the
most entertaining examples I have ever read of good Christian
Unapologetics. It also contains some swear words, so be forewarned
if you are offended by such things. We won't allow C.J. to swear on
the radio. Also of note, we will be calling to his home in
Indonesia, which is the farthest-flung guest shot we have ever had
on the show. C.J. is a native Australian. He's an atheist in a
majority Muslim country and a funny writer who also penned God
Hates You, Hate Him Back. If you are seeking a solid review of the
full Bible, C J. goes after the Almighty with both guns
ablaze.
