I desperately want people to like me. I want my word to mean something to them. I want to be respected... and so I will conduct myself in such a way as I perceive I ought to act in order to gain respect. Then, perhaps, fruitful dialogue will come much easier.
You might be able to make people like you, yes, but most likely you won't be able to make them like your religion.
I am one good example of that.
