Yay, let's all flout our ignorance!
You're obviously way too cool for the likes of us.

Well, do you know why he was crucified?
i mean EXACTLY why?

I think he was pissing off the Romans or something, that's all I can remember from school. Though breach of the peace, vandalism and religious intolerance somehow made it "dying for our sins".

Aside from that, no idea.

Do you actually want to know?

Careful! The space-irony continuum is a delicate thing... If you're gonna use the word ignorance, you gotta be sure you're not being ignorant in the same sentence.

'Flout' means 'to treat with disdain'. 'Flaunt', which I assume is the word you were looking for, means 'to display conspicuously'*

Anyhooo, back to the rub: Having no knowledge of a particular collection of legends is far and away less ignorant than taking said legends literally.

*although flaunt does have another, more rare meaning that is essentially the same as flout, the reverse is not true.
