Easter and the promise of redemption from confessed sins and forgiveness: A short note and non-poem on screen addiction as the deadliest sin

SHORT NOTE
     "Easter, primarily celebrated in Christianity, signifies Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, a key event in Christian theology that is central to the concept of sin redemption. "The death and resurrection of Jesus are believed to have provided atonement for the sins of humanity, offering a path to reconciliation with God," states an AI Overview. 
     The Bible lists several sins along with a mention of various actions, attitudes, and behaviors that are considered sinful. Keeping this view, screen addiction is being seen as the deadliest behavioural sin of modern times. This behaviour has further intensified the listed 'Seven Deadly Sins' such as pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, wrath, breaking the Ten Commandments.         Some behavioural sins like lying, adultery, murder, and coveting including homosexuality, were commonly mentioned along with the attitudes such as bitterness or hate, hypocrisy, and unforgiveness. Screen addiction is when a person uses technology excessively and becomes dependent on it. Screen addiction mainly involves smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions. 

NON-POEM
 
Sins are -
Those unanalysed dispositions 'n habits
That makes you hardcore materialists -
Physical-sensual beast -
And separate you
From in-divinity and existential truth
***
In this fast-changing technological times -
In this digital era -
Screen addiction is the latest, deadliest sin
That breeds other deadly sins -
The sin of self-obsession
The sin of selfishness
The sin of squandering
The sin of sucking-up 'n lusting
The sin of self-indulgence
The sin of self-glorification
The sin of social inequity
***
Screen addiction destroys -
Destroys physical wellbeing
Destroys mental wellbeing
Destroys emotional wellbeing
Destroys social wellbeing
Destroys spiritual well-being
To make you devilish
To make you devastating sinner
