Every day you hear people, especially on this site, who claim that their religion is best and that God only goes for their religion. Often, you hear Christians or Catholics claiming this. Here's my evidence to the contrary:
According to the Gospels, three wisemen left from the east and journeyed to Israel in order to witness the birth of Christ. Because they came from the east, they came from either Parthia (an empire related to Persia) , India, or China. Of these three, Parthia is closest and thus far more likely. Parthia's state religion at the time was Zoroastiranism, a monotheistic faith concerned with the teachings of Zoroaster about their God, Ahura Mazda, fighting the Devil, Angra Mainyu. This means the wisemen weren't Jews.
Who did God appear to? Not the Jewish priests or King Herod, but the supposed pagan priests and magicians from Persia! But that would mean God chose to disregard the Israelites and instead appeared in the form of a star to the heathens!
All you narrow-minded purists, fit that into your twisted ideology.
