How to use materialistic in a sentence?

1. Logan Van Liempt:

   People live in a purely carnal physicality and therefore are unable to grasp abstract thought. Physical evidence of a non-physical force is impossible, and without objective philosophical truths, life is utterly meaningless. Due to these intellectual inabilities, rather than individuals using their collective will to seek absolute truth, they choose to be dependent on the materialistic world; rendering them trapped inside a state of existential-crisis.

2. Nyla Covington:

   It's just something materialistic, but Brittany Walters put meaning to it so that's why I want her to keep it.

3. Katy Perry:

   My mom has prayed for me my entire life, hoping I ’d come back to God, i never left Him, I was just a little bit secular, I was more materialistic and more career-driven.

4. Kim Kardashian-West:

   I know this sounds crazy, but I know that was meant to happen to me. I don't want to start crying, but I feel like that was so meant to happen to me, i'm such a different person. I don't want to start crying anymore. It was meant to happen to me. I really feel like things happen in your life to teach you things. It was probably no secret -- and you see it on the show -- I was being flashy and I was definitely materialistic before.

5. Richard Pryor:

   There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
