Are you so convinced your way is god's way that anyone who disagrees must be "ignorant"?
Your knowledge of the divine is so perfect god himself could not disagree with you?
Another benefit for believing in the "one true god" is how he agrees with you on everything you believe?
"blind leading the blind" indeed.

You've generalized everyone who claims they're upset with ignorance. There is a difference between ignorance and faith.
When I ask my wife why she's Christian, she'll tell me its because its what feels right to her. She makes no claims that her beliefs are facts, and makes no arguement that her opinions may be flawed. She accepts her faith as something personal. That's faith.
Ignorance is someone who claims the bible is pure when they're clueless to its history. They're someone who claims their religion is perfect even though they have nothing to back it up. They're someone who says evidence is wrong and story is right...because that's what they believe. They think their beleifs are not beliefs but facts...that's ignorance.
I'm not Christian, but I'm not ignorant enough to say that I know it all, and know there is no God. I have no way of knowing that. I accept that I do not know, but can only go by the information that I have to form my beliefs on. Ignorance is when people refuse to accept any information that does not go along with their views.
I'd love to discuss religion with people who have faith. People who are ignorant just sound exactly that, and won't listen to anything outside of their narrow view.

A real disagreement requires some knowledge of the subject at hand, otherwise it is just stubbornness on at least one person's part.
Ignorance and disagreement are NOT the same, nor is one a pre-requisit for the other.

No, I am not that deluded. I believe everyone has a right to speak their own opinion. I also believe I have the right to disagree.

You are making a statement, not asking a question.

No, no, no, and no. Interestingly it's the atheists and liberals on YA that tend to assume that people who disagree with them are morons, ignorant, brain-washed, etc.
