That's fine. Upon what basis then were human beings cast out from the garden, or was there ever a garden? What then is sin, and why must we be washed of it? Why do we die, and are we then not fallen or cursed? How does your comment regarding Eve and god have anything to say about free will or evil if it is only a fanciful story? What are our origins (and indeed the origins of everything) if the genesis narrative is not literal, etc etc etc. I may think that the genesis narrative is garbage, but I don't see how christianity can proceed forward without it, it's the initiating moment in the prophetic cycle and without it god has no established authority, nor are we subject to all the nasty shit mentioned therein.
For the record, I'm not the one who postulates deck stacking. It's a certain bent of christian that insists in either the truth of this narrative or gods great omni-ness, not me, as an atheist. You already know I'd tell anyone who asked that the biblical narrative is bullshit start to finish.
