PS by temperament I'm an introvert but I've forced myself over the years to look out and care for others and have relationships

b) yes, inward and outward
c) I see a man trying to understand, in awe with the majesty of the universe
d) The grain of sand disturbs the oyster, it salves it over and makes a pearl.
e) fairly happy with a tendency towards being absent in mind.

I only read the last sentence after taking the quiz, sorry about that, impulsiveness I believe.

Maybe it is true that you are absent in mind. 😏

I would rather be absent from the body and present with the Lord.

HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Glory be to God! Holy! Holy! Holy!

All atheists are materialistic, so don't worry anymore about what he means. 😏

Not true, with either definition.

There are people who don't believe in gods or follow any religion who are thus atheists
but who still believe in magic and the supernatural.
These people are thus not materialists in the sense that they believe in something other
than the physical natural materiel universe.

Also many/most atheists don't value money and stuff above all else and don't qualify as
materialists under that definition either.


So your statement is false on the face of it.

And still does absolutely nothing to clarify which meaning GB intended in his op.

You still have not clarified what you meant by materialistic.
This is relevant to answering the question.

I do agree a little clarification is needed. I'm materialistic to a point but I can't afford crap anyway. I like gadgets and toys and wish I had a 70" TV but on the real I know those things don't really make you happy at the end of the day. relationships are the most important thing.

"You still have not clarified what you meant by materialistic."

Difference, in play here, is a matter of spatial/timeline dimensions

(preoccupied with external and temporal, rather than with internal and spiritual realities).

Seriously is that the best you can do?

I asked for CLARIFICATION. Not more gibberish or riddles.


Can you, for once, please give me a coherent and clear answer to my question?


What did you mean, in the op, by the term materialistic?
