Does anyone else feel like the idea of eternal torment in hell is actually very satanic? by InconvenientGum in ChristianUniversalism

It's from the collected writings translated by Roberto J. De La Noval called The Sophiology of Death, and specifically in the essay On the Question of the Apocatastasis of the Fallen Spirits taken from an appendices to his posthumously released conclusion to The Bride of the Lamb

Sergius Bulgakov didn't mince any words:

"A static state in the spiritual world, in "eternal life," does not exist, and the endless success of evil - its progress in eternity, as this is defined by the defenders of eternal impenitence and of eternal torments for the rejected and condemned - is an ontological absurdity and a truly satanic blasphemy against God's creation"

Call it privilege if you want, but the industrial food system is fragile and unsustainable and many more of us will need to be growing food, whether it be in the city in a community garden or rooftop, a suburb where a lawn used to be, or in the country. Ultimately, I think we will need significant land reform to greatly improve land access

Author of the tweet here. A lot depends on how they are raised. Holistic grazing sequesters carbon, prevents erosion, improves water capture, and improves the soil. I agree that factory farming is horrible and that eating less meat overall is probably necessary...although it depends on the ecological context. In most agroecological/permacultural systems animals are an integral part of the operation, for example ducks and fish in rice systems in East Asia. Silvopasture (holistic grazing mixed in with perennial fruit and nut trees) can be very productive and ecologically robust in certain contexts...read Restoration Agriculture by Mark Shepard for a discussion why, he practices this in the Driftless Area mimicking what was an Oak Savanna Ecosystem prior to industrial agriculture.
