It's not that he will take away all your possessions or your attachments. It's that all your possessions and all your attachments are what take you away from God.
If there is a God--no matter what name he takes on, may it be Christ, Jesus, Krishna, or Apollo--what we do know is that he represents something selfless and that means not holding on to such material things (I wish I could convince my dad that but it's too late for him).
