"Jesus Lied" CJ Werleman on Atheists Talk #91, Sunday, November 7, 2010

"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.
