If you had to bring one philosopher back to help interpret our times, who would it be?

The funny thing is that in Christianity an actual return of Jesus could be interpreted as the coming of the Antichrist.

So there is no saving for monotheists and I don't think it's meant to. Jews will conveniently deny the Messiah has come until our planet is consumed by the sun. Christians will constantly be paranoid about some charismatic leader as being the devil incarnate.
Too many clauses which allow it to perpetuate itself and stall the endtimes.

It would necessarily be an antichrist. Scripture and tradition tell us that the Revelation will be unmistakable.

Christians are fucking retarded in identifying the actual Antichrist.
It has been anybody now. From Stalin to Bush to Obama.
It's like an ancient checks-and-balances paranoia where every leader with too much charisma is suspected of being demonic so he doesn't overreach too much and gets a backlash.

It would actually be the conservatives who would hate on him. "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to come into heaven." "If someone slaps your cheek, show him the other one."
Jesus was basically a socialist and a pacifist before that even existed.
