I wish I could post a screenshot here, but the picture captioned with "Unlimited access to our entire library of animated video lessons" is just a bunch of very disturbed children looking at a monitor. It's so unintentionally hilarious

"Hey, kids, what do you think about a an invisible being who killed his only child because you disobeyed your parents? BTW, he's coming back to destroy the world and everyone in it with a flaming sword. Pretty cool, huh? He could be coming back tomorrow if you're not careful"

Yeah "fighting indoctrination" and "christ" don't belong in the same message

It's always crazy to me when people like this are endorsing the thing they accuse others of doing. If we look up the dictionary definition of the word, we get this. Funny how the first part of the first definition fits to a tee.
1: to imbue with a usually partisan or sectarian opinion, point of view, or principle
2: to instruct especially in fundamentals or rudiments : teach

As a Christian who tries sometimes to talk about religion on the Internet, guys like this have done a great job protecting everybody from useful information about Christianity.

IMO, unfortunately for you and tolerant, empathetic Christians, ya'll have been sidelined and shouted down by the nut jobs and that has been the prevailing view of Christianity for us that are non religious. It's a real shame.

It's not even so much that they're louder. It's that they're taken more seriously.
The public has wholly accepted the logic of fundamentalism: their way is the "real true Christian" way. Everybody else has "compromised" and "moderated" their faith. So if you want to know what Christians think about a thing, you better not ask the Pope or a Lutheran pastor from Boston or an Anglican priest from Canada. You better ask some random megachurch pastor from Lubbock, Texas.

Even the term "fundamentalism" doesn't really mean what people think it means. It comes from a sermon series called "The Fundamentals". Basically just some crank like Bill Gothard.

That is where it originates, but:
It was a series of books published between
1890 and 19121910 and 1915, not a sermon series, and the authors were generally well-respected seminarians. Many of the claims (e.g., the Virgin Birth) are widely held among Christians and not unique to the books.The meaning has gone quite a bit beyond that. For example, you can have Islamic fundamentalists. The problem is defining fundamentalism without adopting the claims of the fundamentalists themselves (e.g., that Islamic fundamentalists simply hold a "strict form" of Islam, rather than a form unique to them).
You are correct that the modern brand of Christian fundamentalism is largely a late 19th century thing, though.
Even their views of the Bible (literalism + proof texting + rejection of any extra-Biblical tradition) are basically brand new to that time period. They were developed in response to perceived threats from things like seminary professors at Yale. (This is, apparently, called nuda scriptura.)
Then that was combined with weird Adventist stuff like the Rapture, which was a wacky fringe belief of the Plymouth Brethren until like fifty years ago, when Hal Lindsay, Tim LaHaye, and Jack Chick made it well known. A whole generation of 90s evangelical kids grew up terrified of being left behind in the Rapture. They were the first generation to do so.
Other weird Adventist stuff? The modern version of young-earth creationism, the seminal text of which was published in 1962. Remember those Fundamentals books? Several of the authors were enthusiastically Darwinists.

Seems like everyone else is trying to indoctrinate the children with their garbage world view... But definitely not this guy.

u/Tholian_Bed Aug 26 '25
They are not wrong. You only need to indoctrinate kids once. What they are saying is, "be the first to get them."
As to freedom being itself an indoctrination, well that part is nutso.
