and they can be from any time in history. Who would you select? I'd choose my late parents, Christopher Hitchens, and yes, this atheist would also have the man/god himself over, Jesus Christ. Why these people? Well, I'd have to update my lovely parents as to all that has transpired in the family, and the world, since they died in 02 and 08. And the news might well kill them (again) when I inform them of our forthcoming Man-Child-in-Chief. Hitchens, the ultimate raconteur, would keep things moving, what with the liquor flowing, though I'd have to send out for more Johnnie Walker Black Label, and those goddamn killer cigarettes! Then again, couldn't the gent from Nazareth simply perform a little dinner table miracle and transform tap water into Hitchens's favorite? As to JC, well, he's arguably the most influential figure of the last 2000 years, so how could I pass up on such an opportunity, and there's the added bonus for fireworks between him and Hitch, or might there be the most consequential conversion since Paul travelled to Damascus! Just wondering who would be on your guest lists? Peter T.
