Why I Avoid Certain Atheist Spaces (As An Atheist)

Why I Avoid Certain Atheist Spaces (As An Atheist) FULL video
(Not Available on VHS)

I tried to catch spelling and grammatical errors, but since this is a one person show and I have some dyslexia, you get what you get.

Harmony Heart is the robot that was used as part of the Fun Learning educational VHS series available during the 80s and 90s. It is not a robot and I included it as part of a fun easter egg for anyone else who grew up watching this series.

random easter egg tinfoil hat theory: I think that when Jimmy's channels got hacked (which I'm still a bit side eye on those details) he used it as an opportunity to private videos and pull himself out of the algorithm for a time and let negative information about him fade out again. That way when the sometime show popped back up again it was easier to tailor his algorithm results to what he WANTED people to see, especially new viewers to his channel. Again, tinfoil hat.
