"Innocent ignorance" Now there is a misnomer if I ever heard one. Innocent ignorance is just another term for ignoramus, not unlike many of the so called "Christian" posters on this thread who will go nameless, as is fitting. Why exactly is it a misnomer? It is not another term for an ignoramus who is a person who just "don't get it". I'm talking about here of people who never had the opportunity to know.
There IS a difference between someone who can't understand Euclidean geometry and someone who's never had the opportunity to learn about this

But the person who is capable of learning geometry and doesn't is an ignoramus.
That wasn't so hard was it?
