Good call. Me only having stated it two times might have been too subtle.

It was irrelevant, both times.

It was the point I made before you replied to me.

It was very relevant. Your reply to me on the other hand...

From what I've seen in this thread and the massive wave of necroposts by this member, I'd say he's a troll.

Oh, I'm far from a troll. My "necroposts" are useful, perhaps borderline trolling, but they were created for a purpose that was not to incite flames.

And what was that? An attempt to bury this thread and pray people forget about it?

Indoctrination = Poop.

everyday in the news, there's another report of a random shotting, and the best thing we can talk about is why Jesus movies or faith is indoctrinations?

Yeah, because soul switching and hating yourself is a much more valuable waste of our time.

Pretty colourful presentation in my opinion.

None of these demonstrate a strong reason for why society’s indoctrination is acceptable while other forms of indoctrination—those condemned by society for being “indoctrination”—are unacceptable. Except, of course, that they don’t conform to society’s standards.

The premise of your argument, i.e. that society practices indoctrination, is false; for a society to practice indoctrination, the body of individuals that compose that society must share the same doctrine, ideology, or principles.

Clearly, O wise and intelligent Bardiel, you whose name is stolen from a crappy animé that tries to justify its existence by pseudophilosophical crap, pretensions of character development, and the use of Judeo-Christian symbolism.

Still waiting for that reason.

Nice diversion tactic, by the way. It didn't work, but I give you points for effort.

And yet, "society"--a term I was using as not strictly defined by the denotation, as noted in the original post--does have such qualities.

No, it does not; society or "mainstream culture" as you describe it, is composed of a body of individuals with diverse doctrines, ideologies, and principles. There is no universally shared or unifying beliefs, therefore there can be no indoctrination.

Mainstream culture is why People magazine exists...and that's just one of many of its virtues.
