I used to think that I would "let my kids decide what to believe on their own" as well, but that just plays into the hands of the groomers.
At this point, I think it's better to indoctrinate them with something, even something incorrect, and let them figure it out when they're grown, rather than telling them nothing.

Absolutely.
Kids need belief systems. This is a fact. They can't just not have an opinion on something. Regardless of the topic, they crave guidance, even if it's a cursory "x good, y bad".
Kids also will believe the first thing they hear from a trusted source. Also fact. So if your kid's teacher is part of the tranny death cult, and you haven't told your kid that trannies are mentally ill, your kid is now fully on board with cutting off his dick to cure depression. You lose, try again next reincarnation.
So much of what's wrong with society stems from the boomer attitude that kids "instinctively know right from wrong" and they'll figure it all out on their own. Nothing could be less true. Teach your child who the enemy is before someone else teaches him that it's you.
I don't think he should be praised just because hes involved with his kids, you could argue the parents who transition their kids are great because they care about their kids health.
They are pretty open about the fact that they are Christian cartoons. Although from the ones I’ve seen there are good moral lessons to be gleaned regardless of belief systems
As an atheist I can attest that vegetables are very scary. This one time there I was not believing in God when a vegetable stabbed me in the back and stole my wallet.
Another time when I was debating which holy book to throw in a pyre for warmth, a vegetable came out of nowhere, hit my face and called me names! Mean names!! On the internet!!!
That said if he doesn't want his child indoctrinated then why let them watch Netflix ? Also at this point in time Christian indoctrination is probably the safest of the bunch so I think he is getting off easy... Especially from netflix
Why is it that even those Predditards who can form coherent sentences still seem practically retarded?
This fool isn't anti-indoctrination. He'd be fine with finding one morning, as he probably already has many a time, that his son is watching cartoons promoting queer and trans drivel, such as Blue's Clues. In fact, he'd claim that it isn't even indoctrination at all.
Notice, also, that he singles out Christians, and probably wouldn't even care if it was a cartoon about any other religion. Indeed, he reads as though more anti-Christian than anti-religion.
I'm theistic, not religious. Atheists, however, are orders of magnitude more insufferable even than the adherents of the worst religious creeds. Freedom of religion should not entail the kinds of beliefs he holds, just as how freedom of religion in Egypt and Indonesia, whilst permitting one to choose a religion of one's own choice, does not permit one to choose none of them.
People might laugh at the notion of 'backwards' Egypt and Indonesia ever being worthy of emulation. And yet which nation is likely to survive longer? I am confident that both nations will still be in one piece in the year 3000, but the belief in America very likely remaining in one piece is one I do not share.
He is so uncomfortable about his kid making his own decision despite virtue signalling hard about that very point.
You cannot teach a child to think for themselves, to make their own decisions in the realm of ideas, and then be mad when they make a decision that is different to what you would make.
Tell you what, you go right ahead and raise your kids on Rick and Morty and see what kind of a annoying, pretentious, uncultured cunt comes out the other end of it.
Can't condemn him for being mindful of it, but you can do a lot worse than veggie tales. The programming is all around you and it is bleaker than this man knows.
christians act like brainwashing is solely in the domain of lefties, and though it may be them pushing it today for the most part, history (and present) shows us that the religious aren't above this. They can be and are just as authoritarian.
But he's not, he's totally waffling.

I'm a foster parent. I have been abused from that opinion.
I have a black eye and broken wrist that says they are not all innocent blank slates. I was abused of the notion.
He says that about what he calls religion, but I bet he doesn't let him eat meat.
I bet this dad is fine with sodomite propaganda being pushed in Disney movies or all the Calarts cartoons

Dude is right on everything, but still heading down the wrong path. Weird.
Evil values like...?
No no no, I’m worried about the WRONG kind of indoctrination.
why are you letting your child use netflix

millenials make the absolute worst parents
Unironically good parenting.
I've never seen this. We had Davey and Goliath, which was kind of something you watched to make your grandmother happy.
Davey and Goliath is an absolute banger
Made by Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby.
Yeah. When I was really young, though (maybe 4 or 5), I used to confuse them with Casey and FInnegan from Mr Dressup, though they were puppets.
Have you seen Fiveish by Oorah?
Never heard of it.
This wasn't made by /pol/.
What. The. Fuck. I'm too into the, er, holiday spirit to see anything but some kind of fucked-up ritual in honour of O'Mighty Dolla.
It gets better.
No clue why they thought it was a good idea to post this or what the context is.
I don't believe you. That's... that's just so... on the nose.
An atheist that is afraid of a cucumber? Why not? Is he sure he knows what he is?
And no mention of morals from our atheist? Sure why not?
And he was so terrified he couldn't sit down and watch it, he had to run and hide in the bathroom and craft this inquiry? Again sure, why not?
