Okay, so, as we all already know, my "belief" system pretty much perfectly aligns with "Secular Humanism". That's great, right? There's a group of people out there who think the same thing as me about the world, universe, and "God". That means I'm not alone, right

Maybe not so like minded after all. I think the problem is you found a belief system first and then try to fit somewhere. I think many people find a belief system and then fit themselves into it. You are unique and I doubt if you'll find people or beliefs just like you. That's not a bad thing IMHO.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

just because you share the same belief system doesn't mean you have to agree on everything: or even get along for that matter. i think the problem with communication between our generation and the generation before us is that we have a very different way of viewing the world even if we share the same basic beliefs as the generation before us. you and i are great examples of this: we both should be mortal enemies but we're not, simply because we view the world the same way, even if we interpret what we see into different beliefs.

i think our generation will be closer to world peace because of this. even the generation before us is still too hung up on all the tiny little nit-picky details. our generation is a lot better at saying, "screw it. we need your help. we'll fight over the stupid things later."

Hmmm... That's true, at least around here.
