Wait, what?
The origin of the Mormon religion is practically a parody of itself. It's also a sterling example of why education is so important in developing people's critical thinking skills so they aren't all credulous morons.
There's this great video of the previous head mormon sticking his head in Joe Smith's hat.
In case you are unaware of the story of the origins of the Mormon faith that Mormons actually believe, go look up the South Park episode titled All About Mormons. It gives a pretty brief overview of everything, including the stones in the hat.
It's quite a funny episode, tbh.
Smrt smrt smrt smrt smrrrrrt
I'll never forget watching that episode with my (non-mormon) friend, his (fresh-convert) brother, and said brother's (raised mormon) girlfriend. After the episode ended we naturally wanted their opinions on it, and girl straight up said -and this is verbatim- "It was pretty close. Joseph Smith didn't read from under a hat, it was more of a shawl, but otherwise it was good"
Speechless.
Dum dum dum dum duuum
Mine is when the Israelites slaughtered entire cities and then they made kids sing about it at Bible Camp.
They still do it to this day
... and so does Islam and Christianity, it's crazy!
what do they all share in common? It's a pickle

Child support?
Can you cite these passages? Because from my memory, when he's praying alone, the content of his prayer isn't recorded and that barely happens at all. There are other things that show that the gospels aren't historical but please stick to the facts.
Edit: I was wrong, it actually does happen:
Then he said to them, βMy soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.β Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, βMy Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.β Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. βCouldnβt you men keep watch with me for one hour?β he asked Peter. βWatch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.β
Matthew 26;38-41
Also notable:
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised
- Brannigan 3:5
Death by snoo snoo!
Mine is the part where Moses went up the mountain, tripped balls for a while, write down some laws, came back down and threw a fit because the people had relapsed into their old religion, and smashed the law tablets like a dumbass.
What you don't realize is the holy spirit was spying on them, recorded the conversation, and sold it to the local tabloid.
It was really the flock that watched them
Just the fact that he needed to talk to him is a problem enough. I was raised with the understanding that they were the same person.
Being, not person. Maybe schizophrenics are actually the closest we got to gods image xD

Wait no I changed mine it's when they put Jesus in a hole, then put a giant wheel of cheese in front of the hole.
The reason Jesus ain't come back is he needs our help to eat all that cheese and get out of the hole
[now that I think about it I might be able to start a cult around cheese. I told my wife no more cults, but I didn't promise. Plus, cheese. Maybe she wants to join this one]
I hate it when I go and do something and then tell someone about it and they are like "no one else was there so it didn't happen".
I'm not saying Jesus is real or anything but like, he coulda just don't stuff and went back to his boyfriends and been like "hey wild shit I prayed and good was like what up"
But Jesus was arrested and crucified before he could hang out with his homies, therein lies the rub.
