Are certain regions of the U.S. more prone to certain sins? Well, according to one study, it certainly appears this is the case. Here is a link to an article in Wired Magazine that gives us the breakdown.

What this study suggests is that certain American subcultures are less prone to gluttony or envy or lust or road rage and certain ones are more prone in those directions. I’m thinking the Amish in Western Pa. and Eastern Ohio didn’t entirely get a fair shake in some of these charts 
See what you think.

I was happy to see that I live in a part of the world prone to greed and sloth, two of my favorite virtues, but I was disappointed that we did not make it for gluttony, as we do love to eat.

I tried to go to the link to see what this was about, but could not find it. Did the Wired site take the article down?

I’m not sure I like their definitions/tests. Gluttony is the worst: not average girth, or amount of food consumed per capita, but number of fast food joints? Come one.

This was okay. Their definitions of the seven sins are more than lacking. How can lust be measured by only STD’s? The research is faulty and makes huge sweeping statements while not taking into account other factors. Still interesting though.
