The Least Sinful State Is . . .
A new study ranked all 50 states from the most sinful to least sinful . . . or, really, from most sinful to slightly-less-sinful-but-still-very-sinful.
The rankings are based on stats that match up with the “seven deadly sins” . . . like crime rates for wrath, theft rates for jealousy, fast-food joints per capita for gluttony, casinos for greed, porn site use for lust, plastic surgery rates for vanity, and exercise rates for sloth.
In the end, they found that Nevada is #1 . . . home of “Sin City,” so it isn’t surprising. The LEAST sinful state is Wyoming.
The 10 MOST SINFUL states are: Nevada . . . California . . . Louisiana . . . Florida . . . Pennsylvania . . . Texas . . . Tennessee . . . Illinois . . . South Carolina . . . and New York.
The 10 least sinful are: Wyoming . . . Idaho . . . New Hampshire . . . Vermont . . . Iowa . . . Connecticut . . . South Dakota . . . Utah . . . Nebraska . . . and Maine.

(I searched Wyoming in my News tab to see what kind of issues they’re dealing with, and sure enough . . . things look fairly wholesome.)
(This week, it’s been reported that, according to the Wyoming Department of Health, gonorrhea rates in the state went down in 2022 . . .)
(The state is advancing a bill that would make it easier for people in Wyoming to consume alcohol while doing things like throwing axes, darts, and chicken roping . . .)
(And a politician has apologized after saying, quote, “Everyone’s got their panties in a wad” on the floor of the Wyoming House of Representatives. He said he’s an “old soldier,” but that’s no excuse.)
