#1. Where have I ever claimed physical matter is the only reality?
As I said, fair enough. All you do is slam Christianity and call people of faith "God botherers", so my assumption is that you are Atheist. Am I wrong?

#2. Where have I ever caimed worldly possessions constitute the highest value in life?
If you are Atheist, there is no spiritual realm. Therefore, the only thing that exists is the material realm. You are therefore a materialist. Maybe not a dialectic materialist, but a materialist nonetheless.

#3. How would you know how much physical / material comfort I have or that I have excluded spiritual and intellectual persuit.?
To a materialist, the things that matter are Worldly success - money, happiness, freedom from pain, freedom from suffering, etc. They have intellectual pursuits, but the pursuits are either geared towards the here & now or maybe something like a legacy... being famous. Failure at any of these things is a mark towards being a failure in life.
Tell us about your spiritual pursuits.
Keep in mind that nobody is 100% Materialist or 100% Spiritual. Humans are far too complicated for absolutes.
