I would go with the third one. Strongest argument, and most eye-catching.

I understand where you were going with the first one, but with the time constraint, the third one is your best bet.

writing about Jesus is cliched. I also thought about writing about him, but I figured a lot of Christians out there would also do it. I think that you have better things to talk to Jesus than Frankenstein, but it is an interesting and unique idea

I understand Jesus is cliched, but because I am not Christian I thought I would put another take on the same man, his idea of religion and the convoluted state of affairs it has turned into today.

Maybe a different religious leader?

3. If you had the opportunity to bring any person -- past or present, fictional or nonfictional -- to a place that is special to you (your hometown or country, a favorite location, etc), who would you bring and why? Tell us what you would share with that person.

Religion has always held a purpose in every society. I would love to hear Jesus Christ's take on the purpose of religion today, and what he intended the purpose of religion to be. I would then read a passage from Frankenstein, how Dr. Victor Frankenstein is taunted endlessly by his creation, and ask if there is any correlation to Jesus' creation, and reflect on the inevitable: creators fleeing from they have wrought. Being a very deep thinker, I would thoroughly enjoy my discussion with Jesus; I'm sure it would be nothing but life-changing.
