We're not against capital, rather capitalism.

>Again you are falling into this situation where man is supposed to tend to nothing but his spiritual desires.
This is untrue. Our innate desires are not intrinsically evil, for the good lies in the mean. This is to say that the constant desire for more material possessions or the endless pursuit of material comfort are futile. This is what is meant by saying that the flesh is at war with the spirit - for the flesh is never satisfied and it is the spirit that reins it in.
>Again, your example of a godless man having many vices controlling him isn't something I see in reality. Someone might have scammed others out of millions and now simply leads a moderate life of comfort until the end of his life.
Have you known any wicked people? I know many men who have made ill-gotten gains and they are divorced, have no relationships with their kids, are constantly chasing after material gain, have no real friends, and many do have alcohol and drug addictions or at the very least bad habits. These things are not unrelated. Your principles affect all aspects of your life. People who scam others do not know how to live moderate lives, that is why they scam others.
