Ignorance gives a sort of eternity to prejudice, and perpetuity to error

Ignorance is not due to lack of education. Ignorance is a state of mind that refuses the temptation of looking into the facts, that craves for the twisted, inflammatory interpretation of the facts that nourishes the prejudice in it to stay the course and expand, at the cost of totally dumping the intelligence the Creator put in it.

Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice is hard

The doctrine that future happiness depends upon belief is monstrous. It is the infamy of infamies. The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance, called 'faith.

Ignorance and prejudice make for bad advisers.
