1. Karl Marx (1818 - 1883) atheist author who wrote about economics. For him financial realities are the only realities. Economics is the driving force of society and individuals. The individual really doesn't exist. for Marx we are members of a class, destined operate out of limits of the class in which we find ourselves.
It is true that possessions are a continual temptation for man. To remedy this the religious takes a vow of poverty. Abandoning the things of this world the consecrated person bears witness that it is the spirit that gives life. All Christians are called to have this same attitude towards their earthly possessions. Recognize that they are passing away and our greatest possessions are the gifts that God bestows upon us. The things we have are not the measure of our lives or our souls.
