- Evil and suffering disprove GodSuffering is serious evidence against God, not a proof. Christianity does not explain every horror; it claims God entered suffering and will end it.
- Liar, lunatic, or LordJesus taught about himself as well as how to live. If he made those claims, 'only a good teacher' does not fit, and the question is whether they are false, invented, or true.
