Off the cuff;

1) One of several "messiahs"
2) Prominent figure in a group of 30,000 sects who disagree
3) Never met the guy

I have to know that something exists in order to refuse it.

1. Never met the guy.

2. Not impressed with the claims of human "representative" authority figures whose deepest desires always match those of "Jesus"...without fail, not once...that does not seem realistic.

3. Not impressed with the OT deity tales as representative of what I know and have experienced of unconditional love...NT is fruit of that poisoned tree.

There is no god. There are no other reasons that need to be stated. Since there is no god, Jesus, can't be the son of god, since none exists.

Who is this "Christ" fellow? Haven't there been a couple of these "Christs"?

QoS nailed the problem with your original question, but if you change it to "not believe/question the existence" instead of "refuse", then I'd have to go with:

1) lack of extra-biblical evidence to support existence

2) multiple similiar storylines older than the bible's

3) still missing after all these years

If you're not a drive-by (or a troll) Gospelog2, you might want to spell the name of your state correctly (unless you meant to spell it wrong or course).
