The Seven Deadly Sins


Are you interested in what cities in America rank highest in the seven deadly sins? Where do you think your city is ranked? ( They are lust, gluttony, avarice, sloth, wrath, envy and pride). Go to Forbes Magazine and look at their interactive map. It is fun.

I immediately looked up Cincinnati and discovered to my surprise that we ranked very high in two categories. Want to guess which two?

This maps provides great insight to Ephesians 6:11-12~ “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

MarcO,

Yep, it makes real the invisibel forces of wickedness. Were you surprised at the two big ones for our region. I was.

Ya, my hometown of VA Beach was in the top 10 for Vanity. (more plastic surgeons per capita) It could be we just started out uglier, or we wear less clothes during most of the year.

I just don't get how condom purchases are a measure for lustiness...could just be a measure of conscientiousness.

I think the things they chose as markers were a bit off the mark. But it causes us to think and it shows us how the world sees things.
