It sounds like a tough thing to do, but it all depends on the individual. I told a really close friend already that I believe the Gospels were written as allegory. I avoided at all costs saying (or going into) the implication that Jesus didn't exist if it's allegory. He asked me how that's even possible and told me if I believed that e.g. Jesus healed the blind man. I told him 'yes' but not in the supernatural way because it took him two tries to do it. What does that sound like? Therapy! I told him that that is so much more tangible to me because then it means I have seen 'miracle workers' before. I'm of course talking about doctors and I asked him if he thought modern medicine was a miracle because it basically alters the natural path leading to death from disease to prolonged life.
We talked about this a month ago. He told me just last night that he wants to discuss prayer now. So I take it he's been thinking about some stuff pretty hard...
