I was thinking maybe I could go over the things that satan does to try and trick people into believing false things and making bad choices and show how I relate them to the church after my fiance has opened up to the idea that it might not be true if she does. (whether or not you believe in religion or the Bible or anything of the sort, it would still make a big difference to a Mormon because they do believe in it). I was just hoping for some other opinions on this and maybe some other ideas.

Here's the stuff I really like kind of along those lines.

The last time a mormon tried to get me to pray about the truthfulness of the church/bom/js/restoration I replied like this:

Kolobian: You've been to the temple, yes?
Family Member: Yes, of course.
Kolobian: And you're endowed, yes?
Family Member, yes, I'm endowed.
Kolobian: You know the story of Adam, after having been cast out of the garden of Eden building an altar and praying to god. He raised his hands above his head and repeated the words, "oh god, hear the words of my mouth.
Family Member: ... (not wanting to say anything)
Kolobian: Pop Quiz, hotshot. Who answered Adam's prayer?
Family Member: ...
Kolobian: You don't have to answer out loud, but you know it was Lucifer, the god of this world. Do you remember what Adam DIDN'T say? Adam DIDN'T say "hey Lucifer, I wasn't talking to you. Get lost!" He didn't even know it was Lucifer. And neither can you when you pray about the church and receive a so-called witness.


Alrighty then..

Wow...That is a really good one!
