Who’d-a thunk it? Charlotte is part of Lust Central in the U.S. of A. Geographers at Kansas State University came up with maps that plot per-capita statistics to show which areas of America engage in the Seven Deadly Sins the most. The KSU geographers took the stats on things like STDs (lust) or theft (envy) or fast-food eateries (gluttony) and mapped them out. Our area is also in the middle of Wrath and Envy Central, too. In fact, the Bible Belt as a whole rates pretty high in most of the Seven Deadly Sins. The lust map is below. Find all of the maps here.

If I am reading the map right I do not buy it. The land of sin Cali has a single blip on it!
