It may be all you can do, in the end. Sort of wound in to the hypothetical setup. You've got a christian who believes in objective morality if there's a god..and doesn't believe in an objective morality if there isn't. That's the antithesis of a coherent worldview and literal nonsense. Sometimes people are just wrong and there's not much more you can say about it because they're wrong in such a simple way there really isn't anything left after the simple explanation.
Brings me back to that q you asked. Whether we care if a statement is accurate or whether we care if we're moral by any metric is, I think, dispositional and fundamentally subjective. Not argued into place. So lets say you point out that your friend is spouting literal nonsense. If that's true - will your friend actually care?

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
