To deny climate change is to deny humans have no impact to the environment . <| sep |> You wouldn ' t accomplish anything by using Bible verses against hypocritical Christians . By doing so , you are only proving that yourself also don ' t adhere to the ethical moral standards presented by the Bible thus collapsing your argument right from the start . How so ? What are the ethical moral standards regarding arguing ones point ? Will I be judged on the effectiveness of my arguments ? I mean , trying to point out a person ' s moral shortcomings or belief flaws isn ' t the best argumentative strategy . When it comes to ethics , this is a I ' m going to respond in the way you ' re responding to me situation , ie criticizing someone ' s morality is responded to by criticizing the other ' s morality . The sin , if one exists , is equally perpetrated by both parties . Everything else you said is likely correct in terms of Biblical verses and interpretation , up to the sanctimonious judgement at the end inherent in these ethical standards dstew 29 speaks of . Unfortunately for OP , and everyone else who has to put up with this , you ' re better off not involving yourself in the argument . Many will not back down , no matter what you say , and it ' s not worth the time , effort , or emotional involvement required .
