<p>Comment on C. S. Lewis words from <em>Mere Christianity</em>:</p>

<p>&ldquo;I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: &lsquo;I&rsquo;m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don&rsquo;t accept His claim to be God.&rsquo; That is the one thing we must not say.&nbsp; A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic&mdash;on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg&mdash;or else he would be the Devil of Hell.&nbsp; You must make your choice.&nbsp; Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.&nbsp; You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.&nbsp; But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher.&nbsp; He has not left that open to us.&nbsp; He did not intend to&rdquo; (Lewis 52).&rdquo;</p>
