Count the murders by God and by Satan. Which would you liker to meet?
I do not literally believe the story of Adam and Eve. Literalism is for fools.
I speak of it and against the way it is interpreted because literalist fools have used it to make second class citizens out of women forever. Easier to push their misogynous policies if people think we fell instead of being elevated the way the story is meant to be read.

‘Instead of the Fall of man (in the sense of humanity as a whole), Judaism preaches the Rise of man: and instead of Original Sin, it stresses Original Virtue, the beneficent hereditary influence of righteous ancestors upon their descendants’.

Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg,said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. And everything else is only commentary. Now, go and study it."
Please listen as to what is said about literal reading.
"Origen, the great second or third century Greek commentator on the Bible said that it is absolutely impossible to take these texts literally. You simply cannot do so. And he said, "God has put these sort of conundrums and paradoxes in so that we are forced to seek a deeper meaning."
Matt 7;12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
So you are saying that the story of creation is a myth and should not be taken literally. What about Satan and the fallen angels? Do you think that they are just a myth? Jesus taught that there would be eternal life for His followers, is that also a myth? If that is the case, then you might as well say that the entire Bible is just a book of myths. However, there are many people who have had miraculous experiences and know that God is very real and take the word of God very serious. What would it take for you to reconsider your beliefs? The antichrist will appear on the scene in the very near future and claim that he is God and will demand worship by penalty of death to those who oppose him. The false doctrines of devils are taught throughout the world and all religions except true Christianity are accepted in society. There will come the day when everyone will know the truth but some will still reject God and choose to follow Satan.
