legit question...hmmmm

Elizabeth I probably, possibly Henry VIII (I am a history major, focusing on Early Modern England) 

There are lots of people I would like to talk to actually, people like Churchill because he was a smartass, probably a head of the CIA so I could find out all kinds of secrets, even people like George Carlin would be dope to have a coffee with.

Karl Marx.

I'd ask him what he thought of how Lenin, Mao and Stalin bastardized his dialiectic.

there are some very vague archaeological discoveries that some believe point to the existence of Jesus, so i guess you could say he's about as real as dinosaurs....

that whole *im doing something iside these asterisks* nonsense, makes you look retarded. thought i'd let you know.

also, Jesus can be proven to have existed by Roman records indicating that a King of the Jews was put to death. we know since there was no king of the Jewish people at the time, they are referring to Jesus. saw it a long time ago, but i saw it on an atheist website. Jesus was most definitely a real person, its the story that is contested.

I'm not going to waste time explaining why most historians consider Jesus to be a historical figure, but I'll point you to a wiki page and let you scroll to the bottom and start looking through its sources.

I think I'd go with Muhammad.

mark twain, because he was funny as hell

"Of all the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse. He will go any length for it-risk fortune, character, reputation, life itself. and what do you think he has done? He has left it out of his heaven! Prayer takes its place."

prove to me he didnt exist?

the documentation that Jesus existed is pretty vast, someone correct me if im wrong, but he is even in the qua ran (butchered (spelling) it?) 

the debate comes into it on the subject his divinity, or even existence of any god for that matter.
