You must come to one of two conclusions - He is either what He said, the Son of God, or He is a lunatic unlike any other lunatic every seen before or after Him. No where in history have so many in power been so threatened by a single "crazy" out in the streets, no one single "crazy" man has ever had such an impact on history, such a lasting impression, that even today we are posting about Him on a site designed around denying His power and His Father's existence.
Whoa, whoa! Stop! Hey now!
Those are not the only two options, and your false dichotomy does not stand. Jesus could also have been a liar, a religious figure who had miracle claims and so on attributed to him by others, one puffed up by rumors, a composite character of several real life figures, an adaptation of earlier polytheism and so on... picking only two conclusions and saying that we must come to them just does not reflect the situation at hand.
