Well when someone is opposed to something personally, they usually use the “it doesn’t glorify God” argument to try and turn their personal opposition into a religious argument. Heard it about long hair on men in the 60s/70s, heard it about dancing, heard it about rock and roll (yep, I’m really old).

If you enjoy driving a sports car, you don’t have to plaster it with religious bumper stickers, just drive it. If someone asks you about it, you can invite them to church while you’re talking to them, but don’t feel guilty for driving it.

My wife and are long time members of a conservative Baptist church described as ‘baptecostal’ by the pastor btw. I just remember my long, long ago youth when I got beat over the head (figuratively) by a few of the church members for things that were actually personal preferences that they disguised as religious dogma.

I see this stuff all the time. It’s people who want the culture and everyone around them to act according to their own liking. Most of it has nothing to do with Biblical doctrine but instead doctrines of their own.
