You're right! I should not. This is one reason why I do not call myself a Christian. If I were to design and build a cabinet and the door fall off should I blame the wood, or the hinge? Then what, toss it in the fire? Maybe I should have chosen better wood or a more sturdy hinge if I had certain expectations of how it should function.

That analogy falls rather flat on it's back. Maybe you should see it like this:

If you gave the wood free will, then asked it who would serve you in making a cabinet, told it what to do to build such cabinet, and it didn't listen. Should you blame yourself?
