Default The Most Famous Trilemma

Firstly, a trilemma is basically a dilemma with three options, rather self-explanatory. The most famous trilemma is that of Christ, which to some proves the divinity of Jesus. This trilemma assumes Jesus referred to himself as the "Son of God." If so one of these three must be true:

1. Lunatic: Jesus was not the son of God, but he mistakenly believed that he was.

2. Liar: Jesus was not the son of God, and he knew it, but he said so anyway.

3. Lord: Jesus was the son of God, and thus spoke the truth.

Thoughts?
