I would have to say Jesus. Arguably the most influential figure in human history as far as how his story (whether you believe it or not) has shaped the world we live in now. Of course others would be in the conversation (Muhammad, Alexander the Great, Gandhi, etc. but if you could meet Jesus and see a miracle in person that would be quite the story to bring back
Ooo yea, Jesus for me too if he existed. I would love to see his reaction to thr kind of a religion he spawned. Also the possibility of getting a lot of Christians to chill the fuck out with the bigotry and hatred if you write down what the actual beliefs of Jesus were.

Biblical Jesus fully supported the OT rules and Pharisees authority. He argued about specific details of the rules (which is sorta the job of a Rabbi) but that is about it. Think lawyer not anarchist. If you heard a lawyer argue in court about one technical aspect of copywrite law you really should not conclude that they are free culture piratebay type.

It’s funny how the editors of the bible spent 3 centuries trying to weaken the bigoted rule obsessed man.
