Does something get relabelled as allegory if it doesn't come true?
That seems to be the procedure.
What is the point for believers if bible stories are allegory, metaphor and poetry?
If the fall is metaphor, what need of Jesus as redeemer? What purpose is served by an allegorical blood sacrifice for metaphorical sin?
If it's 'just stories' poetry and symbolism, why build cathedrals, churches and places of worship? Why study or teach theology? Why have priests or pastors?
