Have you tried just saying "cool" and changing the subject ? You aren't going to change that type of persons opinion, they probably need to believe in the crap for some weird reason. You might have dug yourself in too deep for this trick though since you've engaged him in the conversations before.

I think if the socratic method won't work, I'll just start trying to change and/or ignore the subject. I'll have to figure out a way to do it politely.
