Make sure you get a definition of God upfront before any discussion happens. Find out whether she thinks God is omnipotent or not. If she says he is, hit her with the Problem of Evil. There is no escape, she will be forced to admit that either God is evil or not all-powerful.

Epicurus' probelm of evil:

Is [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

Been around about as long as jesus,and theits still don't have a good response.Well,they'll try tell you they do and you don't understand theology,but whatever.

You might want to also spens some time at Skeptics Annotated Bible or Evil Bible and get some bad verses to ask her about.
