I have had many arguments with Mormons, they have been taught that logic is totally subject to the 'burning in the bosom' experience (which they all claim to have had) when reading the Book of Mormon and they are imbued with the idea that this 'assurance' is the end of all argument. Their mental gymnastics are astonishing and I recommend that if this ever becomes an olympic sport, the US should look first to Utah for a gold medallist!

The rest of the issues are secondary to that.

Keith, I doubt that there would be stunned or awkward silence -- they would probably point you to the Civil War "prophecies" or to other prophecies such as that Joseph Smith's name would be known either for good or for ill all across the world -- there are a number of prophecies that fit with very little fudging, and any passionate Mormon worth his salt could probably rattle off at least a small handful of them. Very good question indeed.

Be prepared for a moment of awkward silence. So Mormons cannot worship their “Heavenly GrandFather?”

I told him that I want to worship the big God who has always been God instead of always wondering if there is something greater out there.
