"I think it's safe to say that I'm below average in materialism for an American."

Irrelevant. I defined self interest as inclusive. I merely made the comment that materialistic benefit can be trumped. I qualified that statement as being on the basis of moral principle. This carries a justification with it that is both the criticism of and the source of purpose in decision making for believers. Moral principle only carries weight for the decision maker if there is accountability beyond the decision...IMO of course.
