I stated before I'm looking for any answer that shows it's sensical to believe Genesis to be allegorical all the while showing how it relates to literal events in the NT.
And you still don't see what's wrong with your loaded question???
Free-thinking is a misnomer when related to what you wrote. You allow no free thought, accept no free thought and frankly, I don't think you'd recognise free thought as you seem to expect me to adhere to a "denomination"...
C'est la vie...
.
I don't "expect" you to adhere to a denomination. By default your beliefs will either coincide with one of the 30 000+ out there or you will have created yet another system of Christian thought i.e. a denomination.
As for staying on topic... I'm a free thinker. I will gladly ponder beyond what I believe to be true hence why I began this thread. I mean, if I don't believe in this stuff, then why would I bother asking about it in the first place?
With all of that out of the way, how about you finally hit me with your understanding of... everything. Why did Jesus have to die for a poem? What does it all mean if Genesis isn't literal?

I already know that Drich likes to have his cake and eat it on this one. God created two "worlds" where one is the garden and the other is the rest of the earth. Then after the events in the garden, Adam & Eve got jiggy with the monkey men who, coincidentally, where at a stage in the evolutionary path equal to where A&E were poofed into being.
Not A&E, the sons and daughters of "Man made in the image of God."
So Cain and Abel?
