I hardly see how believing without justification (faith) fits into anything except in a charlatans' handbook to get you to believe any claim without evidence.
This god you adore withheld the knowledge of good and evil to Adam and Eve according to the story. So how could they be blamed for their actions? They can't be accountable if they have no comprehension of right and wrong.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
