you may lol because you have nothing to say - what is your point to be made - the burden of proof is on you

I'm not sure why you would think that. You've indicated that you believe that genesis is literally true. You've made a counterfactual claim on reality. You appear to have done so because genesis is theologically important for you (and, you contest, all of christianity), and are unable to separate the theologically important details from the literary setting of the narrative.
The theological message, as you've noted, at least for christians......is that redemption is necessary because of sin. The cross is just more symbolism - we don't actually need a cross. Aside from being a counterfactual non-account of the world and ourselves..this isn't at all what the story was written as or intended to be. Your christian notion of a sacrificial demigod is anathema to the culture expressed in the narrative. Nothing could have been further from the minds of those who authored it..than your hellenic paganism...lol.
Your views, and your views about their book..are mis-informed ...and... heretical.
