Denver, Colorado

Do you have the honor of living in one of America’s 10 “most sinful cities”?

If you’re a resident of Denver, Las Vegas, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix and New Orleans, you do.

Congratulations!

Slay News reported on the assessment from Wallethub, which actually put the cities in that order, except for listing Denver, which of late has been the center of attacks by Colorado state officials on Christians, at No. 6.

The report said the ratings are drawing “attention, but not the kind most city governments want.”

Because, WalletHub said, they are “the darkest corners of America.”

It was Denver’s KDVR News that reported the city’s ranking, which was based on “anger & hatred,” “jealousy,” “excesses & vices,” “greed,” “lust,” “vanity,” and “laziness.”

The report explained, “Researchers used 37 data points, including violent crime, obesity rates, and even ‘online searches for illicit behavior.'”

“Anger and hatred” covered violent crime, bullying, hate groups, gun deaths and mass shootings, for which Colorado is famous.

Colorado also has spent “more than a decade litigating against Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop,” in an agenda to try to force Christians to deliver the leftist and anti-Christian messaging chosen by state government officials.

Colorado leftists have continued that fight even after a loss at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Slay News said, “The same is true of its attempt to force a Christian web designer to violate her beliefs, another case ultimately rejected by the Supreme Court.”

And state officials currently are at the high court in their attempt to censor the statements of Christian counselors in light of a state demand they promote the LGBT lifestyles, but are not allowed to encourage children NOT to be LGBT.

The report said the “lust” category “examined adult entertainment establishments, online searches for terms such as ‘XXX Entertainment’ and ‘Tinder,’ and teen birth rates.”

The report found, “The findings place Denver among the nation’s most vice-heavy urban centers.
It’s a distinction unlikely to appear in any of the city’s tourism brochures.”
