C)Modern Day Version of the Epiphany
When Jesus was born in South Bend, Indiana during the presidency of Barack Obama, three individuals arrived in the United States from all over the world looking for the newborn President of the United States. These travelers were very diverse. One Muslim Imam came from Iraq bearing oil. The second man was a Hindu priest from India bearing the finest silk from his country. The third traveler was an atheist scientist from China who brought with him a supercomputer to give to the newborn president. They were, however, flagged as terrorists and arrested by the United States FBI once each of their planes landed. The FBI agents interrogated each of them but were astonished by the identical stories. Each man had received emails summoning them to visit South Bend, Indiana where the new President of the all was born. After some investigation, the FBI could not determine the source of the emails. The FBI instructed the accused to proceed with their visit under surveillance and with hidden microphones. When they arrived in South Bend, they found the baby with his mother and immediately knelt in homage to him. They presented the baby and his mother with the gifts they had brought him and after a short while they left to return home to their countries. The scientist was able to modify the surveillance technology and arrange for them to leave the country in private jets so that they could avoid the FBI.
