Then why did Jesus have himself tortured and executed for a symbolic sin committed by a non existant individual?

Yes the story of Adam and Eve is symbolic and may be Jesus did so to teach a lesson of Humanity to others.

I'm not a believer of any, but why would the Jesus story have to pend on the Adam and Eve story being real? All or nothing?

The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He sent His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous?

Maybe the Passion narratives are mythologies as well.
