I also don’t think anyone else should make you believe something, or make me believe something. But. . .
if someone helps me think, or provokes you to think, or inspires a new way of looking at something, I think something good has happened.
It seems to be the difference between "making you" and "helping you". A successful evangelist, whether for faith or for a product, whether for a point of view or for a certain brand of something, helps people consider it in a positive way.
Too many people are trying to force their opinions and beliefs on others. From Muslim fanatics to Christian fundamentalists, from cable companies seeking to build monopolies, cramming something down someone else's throat is just nasty.
