The temple really does it for me ...
Make him read
http://www.ephesians5-11.org/handshakes.htm and he'll realize the endowment was shamelessly plagiarized from freemasonry. Then ask him how an objectively-minded person can honestly accept that the endowment was revealed straight from God when Joseph introduced the endowment (copied and modified Masonic rites) two months after becoming a Mason, but Freemasonry originated during the Great Apostasy? (BTW the Kirtland temple didn't have the Masonic parallels.)
If he served a mission then he undoubtedly accused the Catholic church of apostasy for changing baptism to a sprinkling. If Catholics can't change immersion to sprinkling, why can mormons change the holy ordinance washing and annointing from a nude full-body scrub in a tub to rubbing a single drop of water across your forehead? Seems equivalent to changing baptism to sprinkling ...
