It would be easy to find 100 silly things in the Book of Abraham. A couple spring to mind:
-Some Egyptian words just happen to be pronounced exactly like, and having the same meaning as, some Hebrew words, and some words from the Adamic language. And some Egyptian words mean entirely different things when copied from one document to fill in a missing gap in another document.
-A libation table is actually Abraham's signature, even though it was drawn 2000 years after Abraham's death

An all-wheat diet is healthy. Very silly. Coffee and tea are unhealthy. Very, very silly.

30) When native Americans join the church, their skin begins to change color and becomes more white and delightsome.

31-a. Never criticize a church leader, even if the criticism is true.
31-b. This only applies if you are lower in the church hierarchy than the person you are criticizing.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

32: Well... The Official Nickname™ is quite silly.
MORmON: accidentally drop an m and you get MORON.
And for that fact: The trumpet tooting "angel" on all the temples' name is only one letter away too: MORONi.

33. Take a dip in a large container of water sitting on top of 12 oxen statues, for a dead persons chance at salvation.
34. Initiate a teenager into church adulthood by dabbing oil on their naked body while muttering a prayer.
35. Green apron?

36. It's possible for an organization to be "true" - as if it's a proposition, not that it's loyal or trustworthy.
37. Green jello with carrot shavings.
38. 8-year-olds are mature and independent enough to enter into a lifetime contract with the church.
Learn to doubt the stories you tell about yourselves and your adversaries.

Being given one chance to walk away from a contract BEFORE you know what the details of the contract are, and being forced to swear to secrecy, and then signing that contract, symbolically, with your blood under penalty of death.

39. The necromancy rules for "Shake Hands with a Spirit" set forth in
D&C 129 are bananas. Have these rules helped
anyone in any faith promoting story in LDS history? Let me note that the scripture states:
These are three grand keys whereby you may know whether any administration is from God.

40) If you have to choose between putting food on your table to feed your family or pay 10 per cent of your money to a multi billion dollar corporate real estate company, it is better to pay the corporation and go hungry.
