Materialism is the modern error - the error of the Modern Era!
Preaching to the choir is all we can do. Argument does not work - only reproduction in numbers of those who know the Absolute Truth to the point of an overwhelming crushing force of the Forces of Lies.
Spirituality always wins in the long run. The problem is generational mutations that seem to swamp out Spirituality before Darwin, or God, wipes the mutants from the face of the Earth.
The greatest Truths are the simplest ones. The number 6 - take this for example. Where in physical space is the number 6? You cannot find it in physical space. Thus, there are non-material existents. thus, Materialism is false. Do you have evidence of the existence of the number 6? No. Do you have data to support the existence of the number 6? No. Numbers exist in the abstract realm of mathematics and have absolutely no physical attributes.
Thus, we have demonstrated simply that we are capable of reasoning and thinking in a completely non-material way that is absolutely true. Nobody can claim the non-existence of the number 6.
Thus, there are areas of study - sciences - where data and evidence are completely irrelevant - and completely absurd. (For advanced philosophers, we all know that even in the sciences, one cannot only use data or evidence, but that is for another time.)
Thus, taking about things we know are absolutely true, but outside of the realm of the physical sciences, is perfectly acceptable, and in many cases, a superior form of thinking and reasoning.
Closing ourselves off to non-material reasoning makes us half human. And, half humans will not survive the Next Inevitable Darwinian purge. The ancients said, "without a vision my people perish." And, this means, in modern terms, we humans who do not conform to the conditions of survival, will not survive.
Human survival in all places and all times requires non-physical reasoning. Or, death.
What shall you do? Focus on Meaning and Vision. Very simple, but sometimes hard.
