America's Most Sinful Cities

So, this past February (Valentine's Day, to be exact) Forbes published a list of America's Most Sinful Cities. It's rather interesting and has an interactive map and everything. This was actually what Peter, my pastor, used as an intro for today's sermon on Luke 13:1-5 (about repenting). I found it rather interesting and thought I would share it. These are only the top 3 for each category, but go to the website to see the top 10 lists. Also you can click on each category to go to their respective articles.
