If «Genesis is «true» as a long poetic metaphor» then the actual event of
eating of some fruit that was forbidden did not happen and thus there was no inherrited sin and thus no need for a ransom
sacrafice from some savior which means the entire bible falls flat on its face.
But if asked in general, then it's an easy answer: crucifixion means the redeption
sacrafice that God the father made to redeem mankind from the sin that Adam had passed on to all his children through the
eating of the forbidden fruit.
By now I am almost fully pledged vegetarian (I still
eat fish sometimes though, but that need decreases) As a former meat eater I enjoyed Golabki, Flaki and Pierogies, both are polish cuisines because even though I was born in Germany, half my heritage (specific: my mother) comes from Poland and I grew up with traditional polish cuisine, which still counts as comfort food to me (Omg I need to mention I tried so often to make Bigos Vegetarian without
sacraficing the taste, but it's still a challange) Bu talso my other half of heritage come from Hungary, I also enjoy traditional Hungarian food like Langos and Palacsinta (so good) Basically I've been brought up with no fear from anything new, I have no prejudices, try everything I can and enjoy home cooked meals made with local basic ingridients the most!
