Does by any chance this mean, "You are so full of sh*t that it blows my mind"?
If that's not the case, what's the actual meaning of the sentence in the title? (Just to clarify, this is being said during a quarrel.)
Yes.
Bull is a shortened euphemism for the word bullsh*t.
Bullshit (also bullcrap) is a common English expletive which may be shortened to the euphemism bull.
And from The Online Slang Dictionary:

The meaning of bullsh*t:
Stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense.
From Oxford Dictionaries.
