Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, KISS, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Megadeath, Pantera... the list of popular rock bands that market themselves with a the hell-devil-satanic kinda theme could fill up a ream of paper before we even got to the hard core death metal and thrasher bands like Slayer, and Cannibal Corpse.

Another angle on the 'Jesus as Lunatic' gospel bite could be to point out that Jesus' family first conclusion about Jesus was that he was mad (Mk 3). However by the book of Acts Mary is one of the significant women inthe church and James (the brother of Jesus) is the most senior figure in the church of Jerusalem. It seems these close skeptics changed their minds about him. - you could then ask a person 'What do you think it was that led them to change their mind?'
