Your doing a good job Johnny. Mike, do you think that a drug dealer nicknamed God wandering around 1st century Jerusalem would have really been able to start a world religion? Seeing as close friends and family of Jesus were in the early church it seems hard to imagine that such an obvious mistake over identity wouldn't have been pointed out.
If you were referring to the trilemma argument then I am quite happy to say that the drug dealer was bad but the same obviously doesn't apply to Jesus.
Mikey might want to try actually brushing the dust off his Bible and try reading it, he would of discovered such passages as this:
Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Matthew 24:4-6, NIV
I am an intelligent young man who likes spreading evidence and reason. I have won employee of the year 5 times showing my excellence and happen to know more about th bible than your average xian.

...but then how do we know the same isnt true for jebus?
Actually Mike, i'm surprised. You finally gave a half-way decent objection.
For right now, i'm only going to respond by asking you:
How familiar you are with C.S. Lewis' "God, lunatic, or devil" argument?
God Bless you Mike,
