ignorant- Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.

I, for one, have never heard the word "ignorant" used with a positive connotation, or by anyone for that matter, who did not have direct intentions of offending someone or putting someone else "below" oneself. religion aside, if i called you ignorant for any reason, would you not assume i meant to offend? or, at the very least, intend to make you know i think higher or better of myself than you? when noobs come on here and ask simple questions regarding their snake husbandry we do not call them ignorant in their animal keeping, because we know that's not nice. we all believe in manners don't we? and sometimes that means not saying anything if you don't have anything nice to say. calling religion "proud ignorance" was completely unnecessary and brought absolutely nothing positive to this forum.. quite the opposite actually. whatever god we believe in (or don't), we come from the same one (or don't).

Ignorant can mean lacking awareness. Perhaps that is what he meant. Sounds much less offensive than lacking knowledge. There are some aspects of religion that, in my opinion, do fall within the definition of ignorant. It doesn't mean that religious people are uneducated, it means that there are certain things that the majority of people agree to be facts that religious persons don't because of said religion.


I agree the wording wasn't spectacular. :/

I'll leave it at that. I'm just trying to make you all aware that ignorance isn't necessarily a negative word. It only is when you interpret it that way.

Obviously this thread was meant to share a cool video. Why bring beliefs into it, Bruce's comments were unwarrented and would have avoided this debate. Anyway Merry Xmas! God bless you all :P

Amen to that!

It's unfortunate, although I suppose not surprising, that this turned into a religious debate. IMO most religious discussions on the Internet lead to nothing but nasty words and hurt feelings.

I will say, though, that I think it's a bit of a stretch to expect people to NOT take offense to being referred to as ignorant. I have never heard someone use "ignorant" in a positive way, and I have certainly never been pleased to hear someone call me that. Just my 2 cents.

Lol i dont think that many people in our mall would have known that song. Not to mention that security probably would have been running them over with their segways in about 20 seconds

I have always used the word "Ignorant" to mean "not having knowledge of" as opposed to being an insult. I am ignorant when it comes to speaking Spanish. I am ignorant with regard to "String Theory" and "Quantum Physics". While I am ignorant with regard to these things, that doesn't mean I am incapable of learning them. If I want to insult someone or I think they are incapable of learning, then that is different than "Ignorant". For that I reserve the word "Stupid". Just my $0.02
