We're gluttons for infographics, and a team at Kansas State just served up a feast: maps of sin created by plotting per-capita stats on things like theft (envy) and STDs (lust). Christian clergy, likely noting the Bible Belt's status as Wrath Central, question the "science." Valid point—or maybe it's just the pride talking.

LOL at the gluttony map! I'm surprised there isn't a little dark red dot on Richmond, VA for wrath.

No wonder the Dakotas are all yellow, no one lives there!!!!
