It is natural to have feelings of intense liking directed at a place, a belief, an idea, etc. mostly because you were born in it or caused to believe in it. However, don't expect everyone to feel the same way about it. Humans are of a great diversity, and so are our beliefs and dreams. In fact, some of us don't believe in the God that others believe in, even though everyone on Earth is related, because we are all descendants of Adam.
Sometimes a certain viewpoint may dissent from yours not because you're wrong, but because the holder of the contrary view also feels right in his own mind, and being intolerant or too defensive of yours will cause you to become aggressive, creating a stalemate situation in which no progress can be made towards mutual growth. If you must be intolerant, let your intolerance be intolerance of intolerance.
