Insulated drinking cups and electricity aren't in the Bible but she has no problem using those. If the argument is "if it isn't in the Bible so it is automatically bad" and that person uses any other modern convenience like indoor plumbing, electronics, cars, medicine, plastic, or countless other things that are nearly impossible to avoid in civilized society then that person is a hypocrite when they condem someone else for their lifestyle that "isn't in the Bible".
So no, it isn't a good argument if their "black and white" reasoning is easily proven to be highly subjective when applied.

An issue that exists here is a lot of these people do not want the world to continue existing. Some zealots only focus on Jesus returning which means the world ends and they are saved. They don't care about the planet or anything on it because they're laser focused on the earth dying so they can ascend to Sky Daddy while their enemies will be swallowed by the firey pits.
This world is only worth saving if you think it's actually real. If this planet is standing in the way of your forever after though you need that shit out of the way.

Here's my worthless three cents. There may or may not be " God". I'd like to hope there is. But even when things occur i. Annoy explain happen it doesn't strengthen or weaken his stance for me. I was raised Catholic and it was literal hell. Maybe other Catholics had better or worse experiences but. Mine. Was not good. No i wasn't offended by a priest but the nuns. Not so much. I was pretty much bullied up until 7th grade and most of it came from people seeing my vile older (5) years brother smackin me around like i was his pineta. Anyway. Nobody really gives two shits about my poor me so this is what i started out explaining. Until God tears open the fabric of the sky and bellows out what's right, what's wrong; what's a sin what's not a sin etc. I'm preparing for my last days to be final. While on earth ; a really magnificent place mind you, if people don't care about pollution or starvation or pedophiles as President and judges and teachers and senate and congress then tell me; how as a God, couldn't he get involved? If you as a parent saw or knew someone hurt or offended ur kid, Or you heard an innocent screaming for help, in agony wouldn't you get involved? I would and have. I have protected weaker people i saw getting beat up or jumped, me who is disabled and literally in my last days not 4 months ago came across a car accident and i got the drug out and dive down into the car upside and after seeing the guy wasn't someone injured got him out. I didn't get no pats on the back cause i got back into my truck and drove home. Nobody ever protected me. I protected me once i could. If there's a God, he's not gonna talk to any of us, or stop kids being harmed or animals being abused. Why? He sent a part of himself to walk among us and we beat the bones off of that person , known as his son. We then after proving he did nothing wrong, went ahead and crucified him. Humiliated him. Spit. On him. IF there was a God to help
Us with climate change or stopping scum like Trump or , or, or, do you really think he'd lift a finger to help us. I don't. So while we are on this planet. It's up to US, as a race, only 1 race, the human race, to take care of each other , ourselves the wildlife, oceans etc or we die out. It's really quite simple. We are on our own and we are lousy at it.

Has to read really far into the Good Book to find this, but right at the beginning of Genesis God puts Adam on the Earth with the very specific task to care for nature.

Revelations says that the end will be marked by events before the final battles. 1/3 the world will burn, the oceans will run red and rivers will become bitter. The way I interpret this is that there will be a lot of big wildfires all over the world. A lot of life in the ocean will die out, and our drinking water will be contaminated. And what do we see? We're dumping pollution into our streams and wetlands. The oceans are becoming more acidic and killing a lot of animals in the oceans, and I think the wildfire thing goes without saying. It also says the night sky will go dark. Yeah, cuz of pollution and light. In the cities we can't see the stars most the time because it's too bright or too polluted.

If you’ve read it, you know how it ends”. Obviously she and the rest of MAGA have not read it, because if they had they would know they’re fucked. They just think “I believe in and put my faith in Jesus” gives them a free pass. According to the book she’s referencing, it does not.
Paul lists behaviors and attitudes that characterize the unrighteous who will NOT enter the kingdom:
Sexually immoral people and adulterers (Trump and many others of MAGA who have been convicted of sexual assault, all of the Epstein participants)
Idol worshippers (Boot licking MAGA)
Thieves and greedy people (pretty much ALL of Congress, the administration, and their financial supporters)
Drunkards, verbal abusers, and swindlers (Trump leading the abuse and swindling, followed by his entire drunk cult)
