The Bible doesn't mention cars, planes, guns, internet, democracy, cocoa, coffee, tea, giant robots...

It does, however, mention adultery quite a lot.

The Bible does have passages describing an arguably democratic and perhaps even primitive communist society, since descriptions of the apostles sharing everything can be found in Acts 2:44-45 and Acts 4:32-35. there its stated that all believers were united in heart and mind, sharing their possessions and ensuring that no one among them was in need.

conspicuously, western protestants often tend to omit those verses.

I like to bring this up when they get uppity about capitalism being God's preferred system, which is such a wild claim to make. But a Fox News host said it best, "God is great, but I love capitalism." Honestly, had I not heard them say it myself, I would have a hard time believing they were so mask-off.
