First things
first - Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. That’s it!
Therefore - I am not ashamed
to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know. – Cicero.
Try that the
next time someone says something you know and can prove to be factually untrue!
Then duck!:)
Today, Gary
DeMar teaches some Christian history that most Christians don't know – in
old movies, no less! “While
not all the great scientists were Christians, they did operate within a worldview
that was developed by Christians.”
How often
have you seen on DaEveningNews that The
Pentagon is actively contemplating the use of nuclear weapons to win wars
that need not be fought in the first place?
Or - The influence from
the ‘secret government’ is exactly why we see so many Presidents speaking
out against certain things during their campaigns, and then all of a sudden
they do a one hundred eighty degree flip on their promises once they’re in
office. – Is there really an
invisible government?
And then,
Ron Unz - one of my favorite analysts – writes some ‘revisionist history’:

An excerpt: “Since my knowledge of American history ran no
deeper than my basic textbooks and mainstream newspapers and magazines, the
last decade or so has been a journey of discovery for me, and often a shocking
one.”
As I have
been saying now for years, my reading has led to the conclusion that I have
been ignorant of true American and World history - especially of the 20th
century and going back to America’s Civil War. Did you know that most Americans
wanted no part in WW 1 or 2? FACT!
So how did
we get cajoled into them? Guess – yup – LIES!
You might word search just that one word –
ignorance – in the LimbrawLibrary! Yup – another motherlode!
And what is the height of all ignorance?
Not ignorance,
but ignorance of ignorance,
is the death of knowledge.
Alfred North Whitehead
but ignorance of ignorance,
is the death of knowledge.
Alfred North Whitehead
What say we mentors
avoid that like a plague!
