My honest search for truth.

I don't want to carry the burden of what could potentially be the most negative thing to happen in his life. I've mentioned this before, but I have another friend that in passing said that non-believers should be having as much sex as possible because they believe in nothing else. It's things like this that I fear for. If these sorts of believers are let loose and they realise there's nothing holding them back they will cause so much harm to themselves.
Everyone's different, but the realisation that there's no greater truth will start the same sort of chain reaction in their minds...
Please I understand your dilemma. What I am saying is that if it is not you it will be someone or something else.
For me I would just give my opinion and stress that it is MY opinion and leave the rest up to your friend.
Who are we to judge that they will harm themselves? Perhaps take a leaf out of Neil deGrasse Tyson's book and tackle it from the angle of "gave up looking for TRUTH so started looking for what is true" ?
