Security forces in Natanz, Iran, have arrested two suspected "spy pigeons" near the country's controversial uranium enrichment facility, the Etemad Melli newspaper reported.

"Unfortunately for the world, Christianity is like an all you can eat buffet religion - pile up on the roast beef, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake, and skip the salad bar, broccoli, asparagus, and carrots. It's impossible for most Christians to follow all of Jesus' teachings, or even many of them, so they pick and choose the ones that suit them best. Elsewhere in Matthew 6, Jesus says not to pray with repetitions as the pagans do, as his father heard you the first time."
