即使唯物主义在这一生中带来了幸福{肯定不是}，这也会使我们对下一个的准备不足。唯物主义使我们蒙蔽了我们的精神贫困。这是一项毫无结果的尝试，要在上帝之外找到意义，所有生命的根源和所有好礼物的赐予者。
(Even if materialism brought happiness in this life {which it certainly does not}, it would leave us woefully unprepared for the next. Materialism blinds us to our spiritual poverty. It's a fruitless attempt to find meaning outside of God, the Source of all life and the Giver of all good gifts.)
