But still, why bother with baptism if the Adam & Eve story is fictional? The basic tenet of Christianity is that every human is born with Original Sin due to Adam & Eve's disobeying God, and only accepting Jesus as your savior and being baptized to wash away Original Sin can you reach Heaven. The whole point of needing Christianity falls apart if you say that the Adam & Eve story is fictional, since anyone could get to Heaven just by being a good person to others.
Hell, even a bad person with a good excuse could get in heaven.
"My daddy beat me!"
"I had pneumonia when I was a kid!"
"A priest raped me!"
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
