Imagine walking along a sidewalk with your arms full of groceries, and someone r...oughly bumps into you so that you fall and your groceries are strewn over the ground. As you rise up from the puddle of broken eggs and tomato juice, you are ready to shout out, "You idiot! What's wrong with you? Are you blind?" But just before you can catch your breath to speak, you see that the person who bumped you is actually blind. He, too, is sprawled in the spilled groceries, and your anger vanishes in an instant, to be replaced by sympathetic concern: "Are you hurt? Can I help you up?"
Our situation is like that. When we clearly realize that the source of disharmony and misery in the world is ignorance, we can open the door of wisdom and compassion. Then we are in a position to heal ourselves and others.

Yes, but that would require that christians accept the beliefs, or lack of, by others. Example, in a different thread a Jew was dressed down for their spelling of god, judgment based solely on the ignorance of how Jews spell god. Or the number of times that I have seen christians judge atheists, saying there is no possible way they have morals cause they don't believe in my particular version of god.
Wisdom you speak of is the absence of ignorance, and there is certainly huge amounts of ignorance that needs to be replace with a little wisdom.

Bingo
And Christians can start with trying to disband that Westboro Baptist Church.
