Joe on the Trilemma and Thomas Jefferson:

As Christians we should reject the politically correct third way that allows non-Christians to escape the horns of the trilemma. The logic of the “liar, lunatic, Lord” argument forces a choice, one that Jesus himself requires every person to make. You can fall at his feet in adoration, dismiss him as a crank, or pity him as mentally deranged fool. You can even deny the evidence and historical consensus and claim that Jesus never existed. But what you cannot say is that he was merely a “good man” or a “wise teacher.” Jefferson’s Jesus—the moral philosopher that lies in a sepulcher in Jerusalem—can’t be found in the Gospels, in history, or in the anywhere outside the imagination of our founding father.

Whole thing here. Good comments.
