Is it Industrial Revolution that degenerates humanity into thing

It is not industrial revolution that makes humanity become things。 On the contrary, it is the materialism ideology that does. Men are created in the image of God, they not only have physical bodies, but also souls and spirits. Men can exercise their creativity in the arts as well as engineering design. They can worship God in spirit and truth. However, if men only have physical bodies, but nothing else, as the materialism ideologues believe, then they are not worth very much, as cheap as pieces of coal and soaps. Then there is no meaning in life and no much value in human life.
