We were warned about this

[shazeep]

i think it is a flawed frame; if Western Civilization was spiritual, it wouldn't be destroyed. If any part of it is spiritual, it will grow and not die. In worldly terms, Western Civilization is dominated by an empire in decline/decadence, and history has established what happens next in that case, and if there is nothing new under the sun then ours will go essentially the same way. Or by all means carry out your thought process to its logical conclusion and see what you are suggesting, if anything.
