1. Does not believe in the divine because of ignoring the
God question and saying that any
real explanation offered is irrelevant and inconclusive.
2. A person who hasn't
read Peter Kreeft's work.
1. Peter Kreeft can tear apart any nontheist "theory" with simple, logical
proof.
2. Jesus is a proven historical figure. Jesus' claim to be
God can make Him two things: a good man if He didn't
lie, and a bad man if He did. But anyone with sense agrees that He was not a bad man, and hence it leaves only one alternative, that He was a good man.
3. Jesus was either lord,
liar or lunatic. He couldn't be a
liar, because there was no motivation for His
lie. All He got out of it was torture and a cruel crucifixion. He couldn't be a lunatic, because He was certainly a wise, creative, and intelligent teacher. Therefore, His psychological profile was opposite to that of a lunatic. Because the other two possibilities are eliminated, Jesus was Lord, and the
Bible is therefore taken as authoritative holy scripture, not a fill-in-the-blank-holy-book.
