Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
In day to day life ignorance is more dangerous however hear me out on this!.


People that are very knowledgeable are often the most ignorant of us all!. When you reach the point of gathering knowledge when you cannot be certain whether the information you are receiving is accurate or not, then you can begin to develop a "herd mentality" with other "knowledgeable people"!. Kind of like back in the 1300's when people though the world was flat, and in recent years when Hitler/the world believed that the Jews were an inferior breed of humans!.!.!.!. all because "leading experts" told them so!.

So think twice whenever you hear the phrase "leading experts say" because just look at how many times in the past humanity has been proven wrong, odds are hugely in the favor that we still don't know what the hell we're talking about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am going to go with ignorance!. So often we are taken advantage of because of our ignorance!. Whereas some may argue that knowledge is more dangerous in that science has given us so many destructive weapons!. I think a case could be made that if we had full knowledge of the dangers and knowledge of the adverse consequences and limited benefits of using them we would be better off!. While it is true that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing complete knowledge is not!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

knowledge is more dangerous for me!. since knowledge is something that can manipulate your beliefs and morals!. ignorance, on the other hand, doesn't give effect!. you just ignore it continuously!. sometimes there are these things you don't want to know!. because these things can destroy you!. Ignorance is bliss!.

Overall, I would say ignorance, for many many obvious reasons others have posted before me, so I won't mention!.

But just some food for thought:
Ignorance is bliss;
More knowledge = More accountability (That may mean more to those more religious people)

Ignorance!. You can be ignorant to the smell of smoke and die in a fire!. Or you can know that a fire must be near because of the smoke!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Knowledge could be dangerous if one does not know how to use it properly!.

Ignorance on the other hand is dangerous when one does not know how to overcome it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
