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.

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
