California is One of the Most Sinful States
Whoa there! Before the feathers get ruffled, establishing the parameters as to what is considered a sin must be completed.
What are the 7 Deadly Sins?
According to the Bible, there are 7 ‘deadly’ sins. These are the sins that move a person into a lifetime of lawbreaking worldly sins, not spiritual ones. Indulging in these sins leads to eternal damnation. Consider these as capital crimes of the soul. Ranking them on a scale of severity:
- Lust - usually a desire of a carnal nature. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to big trouble.
- Gluttony - overindulgence in food and drink can lead to uncharitable choices and a lack of concern for the needs of others.
- Greed - acquiring more than is needed and being unwilling to share possessions or money.
- Sloth - lazy in the body and mind. This can lead to indifference toward other human beings.
- Wrath - anger uncontrolled and rage untamed morphs into vengeance.
- Envy - desiring a trait or possession of another person to the point of hatred can lead nowhere healthy.
- Pride - an inability to be humble. This is the big one.
How Sinful is California?
California hits hard in 3rd place. Anger and hatred are the go-to for sinning in the Golden State. The number of mass shootings, elder abuse complaints, and aggravated assault arrests all contribute to a bronze trophy nobody wants to have up on the mantle.

These results take into account violent crimes per capita, sex offenders per capita, rate of bullying, public school students who carried a weapon on school property, hate-crime incidents per capita, hate groups per capita, and share of maltreated children.
