Strange Logic, but True: Religious People Cause Sin

So yesterday I was looking at some of the other bloggers in my area, and I noticed that there are a ton of religious bloggers. Then this idea popped into my head: "The more sin in the city, the more religious it seems to be". That statement seems outrages probably in the view of the extreme religious people out there, but I can name some precedence.

The obvious wars that this country has been in -- are of some of the most extreme religious beliefs, heck they make our ridiculous right-wing conservative religious groups seem very liberal. If we were to listen to the "Bible" very literally then we would still be doing eye for an eye justice in this country. Some believe taking the law into their own hands, like anti-abortion critics, justifies their anti-bible rhetoric.

So if my logic is sound then the most religious state(s) in this country is probably Nevada, because of Las Vegas where gambling and prostitution is legal and is a sin according to the "Bible". I have never been to Nevada and would assume that it couldn't have that many religious people, but Nevada did go as a Red State in the Election. Hmmmmm, so to say that the red states are better morally is actually a contradiction in its self.

I bet if I did some statistics of immorality in this country I would find a correlation between the number of devoted religous people to "Bible"-immorals being broken.

Just to name some other locations:

Louisiana – Heavily Conservative Right-Wing, heck they outlaw the idea of putting democrats on the ballot. They have sin once a year with Madi Gras.

Alabama – Another heavy conservative right, incense – gross ewwww.

Georgia – Atlantic City (more gambling)
