All responsibility is on the deity and anyone who wants to say that we're just 'not listening' or we need to 'open our heart' needs massive electroshock therapy.
Some would say that you have no right to Heaven, the Beatific Vision, and because of the original sin of Adam & Eve (who never existed), you deserve eternal Hell, infants included.
Ignoring the fact that it's all actually Yahweh's fuck-up once again. Poor security in the garden that allowed the snake in, poor design in creating the snake and enabling it to speak, programming into the humans that fatal curiosity, putting the tree there in the first place, not putting anything around it to make them think twice about whether the effort of reaching it would be worth it, not surrounding it with more tempting things to distract them, expecting them to understand consequences without foreknowledge of good and evil...
I mean, if we were to take this to court as a liability suit, Yahweh would get his ass sued off every fucking time.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
