I found this interesting. Lewis understands the latter choice and chooses the former. Why is Jesus not a "madman", as Lewis puts it? The Quran believes in Jesus as a messiah and yet not the son of god. Only the bible refers to Jesus as the son of god. Why would one of these books lie about that and, furthermore, how does one know which book is a more reliable source of what Jesus said or is or was?

Since the christ is a MYTH and both mentioned books are books of religious MYTHS and LEGENDS - there is NO reliable source of information regarding a person who never actually lived.
THE inconsistencies in the story of the christ and the actual Jewish religion - would have the christ branded as a heretic and a madman - and he would have been stoned to death long before the storied execution.
In fact - the christ could NEVER have been the jewish messiah - who is supposed to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem for the third time - the second temple still existed for the entire supposed time of the life of the christ. THe jews would never have accepted a "New Covenant" as anything but heresy as well. THe idea that the ONE GOD of judaism would change its mind and go back on its word simply would not have been accepted.
In the story of the money changers at the temple of Jerusalem - the christ would NEVER have been allowed to speak there. WE are talking about the high temple - the Vatican - Of judaism - and the christ was NOT and could not have been a learned teacher of the religion.
An intelligent person can spend days showing how the fiction of the christ cannot be true
