Calvinist Claims Pineapple Pizza Proves Total Depravity

Calvinist Claims Pineapple Pizza Proves Total Depravity

The ham and pineapple pizza is credited to the late Sam Panopoulos of Ontario, Canada who dubbed it the “Hawaiian” pizza in honor of the source of his pineapple. The term, however, is generally rejected by many Hawaiian locals because it is not an example nor representation of their traditional cuisine.


*Bellflower, CA —* In a theological twist that's sure to stir up more than just sauce and cheese, local Calvinist theologian Cornelius "Cal" Grumbleton has declared that the existence of pineapple on pizza is undeniable proof of humanity's total depravity.


During a spirited debate with Provisionist Percy "Pineapple Pete" Pizzalover, Grumbleton pulled out a slice of pineapple pizza, much to the audience's gasp, as his trump card.


"Behold, the very embodiment of our fallen nature," Grumbleton proclaimed, holding the controversial slice aloft. "This pineapple pizza is not just a crime against culinary arts; it is evidence of our inherent sinfulness. For only a totally depraved soul could corrupt the sanctity of pizza in such a manner."


Pizzalover, known for his love of the tropical topping, was quick to retort, claiming that pineapple pizza was simply a matter of personal preference and not a sign of moral decay.


"My esteemed opponent would have you believe that our pizza choices reflect our salvation," Pizzalover argued. "But I say unto you, the freedom to choose pineapple is a testament to the divine gift of free will!"


The debate raged on, with Grumbleton asserting that the very existence of pineapple pizza lovers among us is a clear sign that without divine intervention, humanity is incapable of choosing good on its own.


"If left to our own devices, we choose pineapple, anchovies, and even—dare I say—bananas on pizza," Grumbleton declared, eliciting shudders from the crowd. "This is why we need grace, for we cannot trust our own taste buds to lead us to righteousness."


As the debate concluded, no consensus was reached, but attendees left with a newfound theological perspective on their dinner choices. Grumbleton's final words echoed through the hall:


"Let this pineapple pizza be a reminder of our need for divine guidance, for without it, we are lost in a sea of questionable toppings."


The debate has since sparked a series of discussions across various denominations, with many pondering the implications of their pizza preferences. Meanwhile, pizzerias report a spike in pineapple pizza orders, suggesting that perhaps the debate has only whetted appetites for the controversial dish.

Martin Luther’s Surprising Opening at the Diet of Worms: “I Grew Up In A Middle Class Family”

What He Could Be (Protestant), Unburdened By What Has Been (Rome) Worms, 1521 – Newly uncovered manuscripts reveal that Martin Luther's famous speech at the Diet of Worms began with an unexpected twist: "Let me start by saying that I grew up in a middle-class family." Luther's opening left the audience puzzled but intrigued. He quickly transitioned to his main argument, maintaining the fiery rhetoric we know today. "Here I stand, I can do no other," he declared, seamlessly blending his personal story with his defiance against the Church. Historians now see Luther's relatable approach as a clever tactic to connect with the common people. "By sharing his humble beginnings, Luther made his revolutionary ideas more accessible," said Dr. Hans Wurst, a Reformation scholar. As we commemorate the Diet of Worms, let's remember Luther not just as a reformer, but as a middle-class hero who knew how to captivate a crowd.

Christian Pacifists Reinterpret Romans 13 After Tragic Animal Incidents

Fred and Peanut Become Latest Mascots for Justice  In a surprising twist, Christian pacifists have taken a page from the revolutionary Presbyterians' book by reinterpreting Romans 13, following the tragic demise of Fred the squirrel and Peanut the raccoon at the hands of government officials. These furry martyrs have sparked a theological debate, as pacifists now argue that Romans 13 supports civil disobedience against unjust state actions. Fred and Peanut, beloved local mascots, were allegedly "neutralized" for causing minor disruptions in a public park. Their untimely deaths have become a rallying cry for pacifists, who argue that the state's actions were neither just nor necessary. In response, pacifists assert that Romans 13, traditionally seen as a call to obey governing authorities, actually mandates resistance when the state acts contrary to God's will. They emphasize Paul's call to "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) as a directive to ch...

Satanists Boycott Halloween, Claim It's a Christian Holiday

Satanists Say No to Halloween, Yes to Satan: How a Religious Minority Is Challenging the Status Quo A group of satanists has announced that they will not be celebrating Halloween this year, citing religious reasons. The group, which calls itself the Church of Satan, said that Halloween is actually a Christian holiday that has been corrupted by commercialism and paganism. "Halloween is derived from All Hallows' Eve, the eve of the Christian feast of All Saints' Day," said a spokesperson for the Church of Satan. "It is a time when Christians honor their dead and pray for their souls. We, as satanists, do not believe in such superstitions and do not want to participate in this mockery of our faith." The spokesperson added that Halloween also promotes witchcraft, ghosts, vampires, zombies, and other supernatural creatures that have nothing to do with satanism. "We are not interested in dressing up as fictional characters or begging for candy from strangers....
