Re: 'Iranian president: Holocaust is "condemnable"'
When the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden, his conversation wasn't brash or forceful either (it wasn't "Hey you rotten wench, eat that fruit). Nope, he had a nice, pleasant conversation with her...very subtle...to make her doubt. Eventually, she believed him rather than God (that's what he wanted all along).
It's how he worked then and it's now how he still works today.
