sure, chemistry is different, but why load the poor regular guy with guilt and sin on top of his limited brain? science describe facts, it does not ascribe value judgments. if you want to have the brain chemistry of a tibetan monk that is great, i'd say more practice! however buddhism's view of "sin" is VERY different that christianity's--- it's seen as a detour from enlightenment rather than some source of shame & guilt.
