Or at least address the many instances of allegory that it contains. Even Jesus used parables in His teachings, and they are clear examples of allegory.

If there was no fall, what need of Jesus the redeemer?

If The Fall is just allegory, why not Jesus as allegory?

That's quite obviously unreasonable, but you are free to believe it.
