I think that in our modern world, the 7 deadly sins still do apply yet I believe that some take on a different meaning now. For example, envy can be good in this world. Being envious of someone can be bad if it is manifested violently or in a bad way, yet being jealous of someone can also be a motivator. In our world a lot of people need motivation to become better and by being jealous of someone elses success, it may motivate one to work harder towards a goal. This is why this "deadly sin" may be necessary in some cases.
All of the sins can take on new meanings in certain cases and can be useful in one scenario yet bad in another. I don't think that it is fair to label something a "deadly sin" when in some situations they can be seen as something that is not necessarily bad. F
