You don't even seem to be debating her so much and repeating yourself and then bemoaning that we don't understand you.
You are the one that would be stupid to say "Don't question that Futurama fan" and act shocked that they managed to turn a mere show into a religion. You underestimate the ability of con artists and the deluded.
Treating fiction as fact because it may contain axioms or motifs you like is exactly how fiction gets turned into religions.
I didn't say you didn't understand me. You merely don't like my responses. But calling me a fanatic is absurd. When I start having you arrested or sticking you in ovens then you can call me a "fanatic". Yes I am repeating myself.
The earth is not flat, the New York Yankees don't play ice hockey, and fiction is still fiction. The bible has names of real cities and real people in it too. People find inspiration in it too. But you rightfully call it fiction. And you rightfully would say the bible has no predictive powers.
Si fi is still fiction.
