If you want to stop her in her tracks just ask her to show you the scripture that crap came from. This doesn't invite an argument about the truthfulness of THE faith, it only asks her to support her faith with evidence from the basis of her faith.
there is a lot of "christian" theology that has no basis whatsoever in the Bible. so where does it come from?

But I understand your point. I don't think that the Bible says an overwhelming majority of what I hear people describing as the basis for their faith.

OK, point taken Flint. You don't believe in the Bible as the God authored, man written word... yadayadayada. but the people you are having the discussion with DO. If they believe that the Bible is the word of God and they further believe that man's ideas are of no significance next to God's, ask them to show you where their theological points come from - chapter and verse.
