Hoffmanism is a philosophy propounded by Christian vegetarian minister, Rev. Frank L. Hoffman of Athens, New York.
The three points of Hoffmanism
Hoffmanism teaches 3 points:
1.
1 - God loves all persons unconditionally.
2. 2 - We should realize this unconditional love and love every other person unconditionally.
3. 3 - All persons should be vegan (that is, to neither eat animal products, nor consume, wear, or endorse the production of anything that involves the suffering or involuntary use of another person, particularly nonhumans, who cannot voice their unwillingness to participate in uses that compromise their freedom and/or well-being).
The 4th point of Hoffmanism seems to be, according to his followers’ interpretations, that it matters not whether we know anything, think anything, or do anything of significant personal or historical effort because God doesn’t really care what we do.
While this sounds at some points like hyper-Calvinism, Hoffman was ordained a Methodist minister, through reared Jewish.
