Allend, you are a polite writer and I appreciate that. However, if Genesis is allegory, then original sin is also allegory. You can't get reality from allegory. If original sin is allegory (doesn't really exist), then there is no need for a Savior; if there is no need for a Savior, then there is no need for Jesus; if there is no need for Jesus, then why do catholics go to confession?
