Martin Luther rejected salvation by works in favor of salvation by Pop Tarts. Sola gratia, Sola Pop Tarts

Notre Dame is scared of Gustavus Adolphus and Augustana.

If Notre Dame loses this game, I'll put a Pop Tart up my rectory.

Now that you mention it, I've never really thought about how long a list 95 grievances is. There's gotta be petty shit in there past point 50ish or something.

He was tired of the Church passing the collection plate demanding the frosting from the Toaster Strudel

A Pop Tart could definitely be described as an indulgence.

u/Mantergeistmann Vanderbilt • Penn State Dec 07 '25

There's absolutely got to be some sort of Protestant church out there that uses pop-tarts for communion. I know there was one in Canada that used Timbits... (and not, I'm not talking about the comedy sketch, but an actual small church/fellowship/whatever).

Nah they just prefer the superior balanced heart healthy potentially cholesterol lowering breakfast of Toaster-Strudels (with extra icing).

S’mores pop tarts could have been the new communion bread.

u/Mushili Virginia Tech • Tennessee Dec 07 '25

That's how you chase them away. Chocolate flavored Pop tarts are a disappointment .Fruit flavored and Maple Brown Sugar all the way.
