Via The Science of Sin: The Psychology of the Seven Deadlies (and Why They Are So Good For You):
Geographer Thomas Vought, of Kansas State University, recently examined Americaâs sinscape, mapping the sinful peaks and vice-filled valleys of counties across the United States. Vought and his colleagues used statistics from different databases to compute sin indexes: violent crime stats to measure anger, prevalence rates of sexually transmitted infections to measure lust, and the number of fast-food chains per capita to measure gluttony. The basic message of Voughtâs research: the seven deadly sins are alive and well. Here, by the way, are the winners:
Most proud: Shreveport, Louisiana
Most greedy: Las Vegas Strip
Most slothful: Atlantic City, New Jersey
Most gluttonous: Tunica Co./ Lula, Mississippi
Most lustful: Tunica Co./ Lula, Mississippi
Most envious: Biloxi, Mississippi
Most angry: Shreveport, Louisiana
To which I say: What the hell is going on in Louisiana and Mississippi?
Using metrics similar to those used by Thomas Vought and colleagues in their mapping of US sinsâ theft statistics for envy, BMI for gluttony, number of sick days for slothâ the BBC compiled the following list of winners:
Lust: South Korea
Gluttony: United States
Greed: Mexico
Sloth: Iceland
Anger: South Africa
Envy: Australia
Pride: Iceland
With just a hint of pride (the authentic variety, of course), Iâm happy to say that, overall, Australia was deemed the worldâs most sinful nation. I do feel sorry for those who came closeâ the United States in second place and Canada thirdâ and sorrier still for those that didnât make the list at all (Greenland, anybody?). But virtuous Greenlanders and those like them need not worry, for it seems that there might be other ways to take the mantle of âworldâs most sinful.â
