Culpability.
I'd also add that I don't think mental illness necessarily renders someone innocent for reason of insanity. A lot of people have a mental illness but don't go around killing and torturing other people. Just because a person has depression, for example, doesn't mean they are innocent if they go out and kill people.
That's a fine standard for us mere mortals. You'd think God wouldn't set people up to fail and then punish them for failure, though. . . cuz that's mean.
Let me ask you-- if someone kills because they are schizophrenic, is there a nice comfy cloud waiting for them in Heaven? If someone was molested constantly as a little kid (say by a catholic priest for example), and his brain is turned into a bag of leaping frogs, and he rapes some little kid. . . is he going to get a free pass?
How about the millions of brown people all over the world with real problems, who are morally challenged every day instead of having a nice middle-class American life to bolster their faith in fairness? Do they get extra credit for dealing with so much extra crap in life?
