that so many \u201cBible belt\u201d states rank so high on the iniquity scale?\u00a0 It shouldn\u2019t be too surprising to find much Christianity where there is much sin.\u00a0 After all, as Jesus said, \u201cThose who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.\u00a0I came not to call the righteous,\u00a0but sinners\u201d (Mark 2:17).<\/p>\nWhat does it mean that so many predominantly Lutheran states rank towards the bottom<\/em> of the sin scale?\u00a0 Can it be that those who put the most emphasis on the role of good works in salvation produce the fewest of them, and that those who minimize the role of good works in salvation produce more of them?\u00a0 Is this evidence that faith really does produce the fruit of virtue?<\/p>\nI would say that we should NOT draw too many theological conclusions from this research.\u00a0 If we did, the predominantly secularist New Englanders\u2013though perhaps upholding the moralism of their Puritan ancestors while trying to do without their faith\u2013would appear to be the most righteous of all.<\/p>\nThe point, though, is that this study is primarily about culture, economics, class, homogeneity, and regional histories.\u00a0 It deals with external crimes and vices.\u00a0 But it doesn\u2019t get at what the Bible means by sin:\u00a0 the condition of the human heart.\u00a0 Our internal sinfulness can manifest itself in these external sins.\u00a0 But it need not.<\/p>\nThus, even upright, law-abiding, skinny citizens from Vermont who do not use personal care products are still sinners.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\nIllustration from WalletHub, who invited websites to embed the graphic, which shows the degree of \u201csin\u201d by the darkness of the
