those who follow thomas jefferson in regarding jesus as a great moral teacher about whom unreliable stories are told explain the loaves and fishes story this way - some of the people really had brought food with them, under the influence of jesus they were moved to unselfishly share and content themselves with less than they might usually eat
similarly, the water into wine story could be seen as people getting high on agape instead of alcohol - i can believe it, weddings are special even if you're not drinking
