It sounds as if it might be a form of the False Dilemma (trilemma). This sounds sort of like the Jesus was either a lunatic, liar, or Lord. Limiting choices is fallacious and shows a lack of creative thinking. Reality is generally far more complex and less black and white, and other options can exist (e.g., it is possible that Jesus was legend ). Not sure what else I can suggest based on your description. Perhaps if you provide a real example it will help. Thanks! |
