If it were a mental illness, it would be mean spirited for God to hold it against a person ... Most people who talk the sin-talk think of it as involving voluntary behavior, not chemical imbalances in the brain.

Unless they're Calvinists, in which case sin literally is something outside one's control, one's engaging in it having been foreordained by G-d for his greater glory. That's similar to a chemical imbalance in the brain.
