An ignorant person is one who is unaware or doesn't understand, and if you aren't familiar with religious imagery then yes.. you are ignorant. Again, though-- it's understandable. Theology can be boring, and not everybody was raised with that knowledge. My father is Jewish and my mother was Lutheran so I got both sides of it.
I'm not calling you ignorant because you interpret her music differently, but because you refuse to acknowledge the deeper meaning Gaga intended-- not for her audience-- but for herself. She wants people to interpret it however they want.

Most people hate having to think.

Put in another way:
It's not that you interpret her differently, it's that you refuse to interpret her.
We're getting markedly off-topic though... As usual in these types of threads...
I've been very happy with the response in this thread (generally). It's great to see so many success stories

Funny thing actually
I didn't like gaga before, or ever after she released born this way. But a 2 monthsago I was going through a very tough time so I youtubed Born This Way, and it lifted my spirits up. So I decided that I would give the album a listen, and that's when I started to stan.
Hair I can relate to so much, in a literal sense. My mother HATES my long-ish hair, and we would get into fights about it all the time, and this song was like my theme for the past 2 months.
Bad Kids I can relate to so much, it just uplifting throughout the chorus " Don't be insecure if you'r heart is pure"
Marry The Night is my power anthem, when I feel down I just listen to it and decide to do better.
I bet this sounded cheesy as hell, but **** it.

 Awesome! I hated Bad Kids at first but then it just clicked -- I LOVE how "You're still cool to me if you're a bad kid, baby" sounds like it might as well be "You're still cool to me if you're a f@ggot, baby."

With obvious song like bloody mary for instance, I definitely get what gaga is trying to do.
It's not that I'm ignorant to the deeper meanings, I just believe that in some cases, her songs should not be taken that seriously.

Funny you should say that, Bad Kids was the song that I loved the most going through my first listen. It's one of my favorites overall though.
