You are implying that intolerance is not blissful. And while I'll grant you that it's no fun for the person at the receiving end of the intolerance, I see no reason why it can't make life easier for the ignorant person. Think of all that annoying thinking he'll avoid. Bliss.

Ignorance in certain subjects can be bliss because the subject itself does not lead to a positive end and continually hangs without resolution, so ignorance in this case would be bliss in not knowing about the subject at all.
Do you think so?

I think the first line of your question is an answer to your question. It's ridiculous that ignorance is bliss....it's an old couple of sayings put together that make no sense. Any educated person knows better....

My god, this question is about ignorance and bliss and people are finding a way to preach their beliefs.
PEOPLE, SHUT THE HELL UP AND JUST HAVE A DECENT FRICKIN DISCUSSION FOR ONCE.
Ignorance is not bliss. That statement is ignorant.

Go watch the movie "Nell" with Jodie Foster and then you'll know the meaning of "ignorance is bliss". Not that it's necessarily a good thing, but as the Bible says "With knowledge, comes sorrow"

Ignorance is only bliss until reality hits you in the face like a Mack truck.

For the same reason the Church considers almost all forms of sex and promiscuity to be evil. Bliss is sinful. This world is sinful or corrupt, so any happiness experienced in the world is sinful and corrupt.

Intolerance is bliss when you are intolerant of ignorance.

"Tolerance" is stupid. Everyone believes something about various issues. To be truly "tolerant", then you have to tolerate those that seem "intolerant" to you.
In other words, Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life.

Most religions are adamant that it does more harm than good.
