If by "the place with only open, intelligent, like-minded people" you mean, "somewhere that no one will disagree with me", I wish you luck. Until you find it, you should stay here. The rest of us have to deal with people shooting down our beliefs and come up with a response - that's the whole fun of it.

I understand what you're trying to say. But

What you or I believe is irrelevent. It's what there is that matters.
In practical application, you live as you "believe" more often than you live as you "know." You bring a coat with you on a sunny day if you believe the weatherman when he says it's going to rain later. You don't "know" it's going to rain, but your belief might save you getting wet.
