America's Most Sinful Cities?

I recently read an "interesting" special report from Forbes.com titled "America's Most Sinful Cities." The FORBES editorial and research staff used the seven deadly sins from the Bible as a basis for their study (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride).

Forbes defined their "own" criteria for the seven categories and for most, only researched the top 40-50 largest city areas (Metropolitan Statistical Area).

The Top Five Most Sinful Cities (my cumulative ranking from the 7 "sinful" sub-categories):

1. Memphis, TN
2. San Antonio, TX
3. Detroit, MI
4. Seattle, WA
5. Salt Lake City, UT

Others topping the list: San Jose, CA; San Francisco, CA; Denver, CO; New Orleans, LA

Columbia, SC was not in the MSA top 50 cities, so was not included in any sub-category rankings. Columbia is a GREAT place to live!
