My dad is (was?) one of these. The dissonance was one of the reasons I rejected religion - their Bible tells them to be good stewards, but when asked why he supports stuff that harms the environment my dad’s excuse was that the world was ending soon and only those who didn’t get raptured would even be impacted by it.
I checked, the Bible doesn’t contain some “shit on the environment if the world is ending soon” clause or exception.

That’s the thing about the Bible, it says whatever the Christian wants it to say for any given situation and doesn’t need to be self consistent
It actually says the opposite: “He will put to ruin those ruining the earth”
Maybe remind such people that humans aren’t “the world”.
Their book tells them that humans have dominion over all other forms of life on the planet so good luck with that
Its implied, like the rape cults snd persecution of queer people.
