Given their theological bent, Christians have often operated on the premise that the only truth that matters is abstract or philosophical truth. They have assumed that a person's worldview, including their own, consists only of ideas. This is a dangerous fallacy...
We are influenced by images at least as much as ideas. We may assent to the proposition that the true end of life is not to make money & accumulate possessions, but if our minds are filled with images of big houses & fancy clothes, our actual behavior will run in the direction of materialism.
