Jesus was either a complete nut-job on par with the man claiming to be a poached egg when He claimed to be God in the flesh (not just a decent person, or a prophet as some claim) or He was and is who He claims to be. There are no shades of grey here. nut-job or the Son of God... period.
This is a false dichotomy. It is entirely possible that Jesus (assuming his existence, for the sake of this discussion) knew that what he was saying was nonsense, but was saying it anyway, for earthly reasons, such as financial support, local fame, or other benefits.
