Saying that Eve understood that she would receive punishment if she and her counterpart ate from the tree is irrelevant. Taking the scripture from a literal standpoint Adam and Eve had absolutely no knowledge of moral action (good & evil), so how could one hold another morally responsible for their actions if they literally knew no better?
That would be akin to holding a beast morally responsible for it's actions (like a lion eating a man).
Furthermore, who is really morally wrong in this situation? The mortals who did not have the capacity to understand the concepts of right and wrong, and how to apply said concepts to their actions, or the infinitely knowledgeable deity who knew that his creations would eat from the tree but still put it there in the bloody garden anyway? Sounds like a set-up to me...
I'm sure everything about Christianity sounds like a set-up to you, that's the result of a small mind that can not understand the bigger picture.
You telling someone else that they have a 'small mind' is fucking hilarious. Got any more gems?

Sure, I don't believe in any gods but that doesn't mean I can't talk in hypothetical. You might want to look the definition up sometime, might save you some time and face. Ah, still going with the pathetic attempts at claiming knowledge over another person's life I see. Do you ever feel like you're about to understand something, but it slips away? Allow me to help, it's probably the realization that you're a fucking moron.

Actually, she was just repeating what God had said to her like a nice little sheep. This does not denote that she understood anything.
