re: How does a western nation guarantee it's collapse?

The men who built modern civilization just laid down and did absolutely nothing while women, invaders, and idiots destroyed it. Nobody sure why.

I heard an interesting speaker addressing this obliquely many years ago.

He was an Eton and Oxford educated philosopher who was an atheist but converted to Christianity when he began studying it during his service in the British Army during WWII.

He said if you look around Sunday morning at most Churches there are a predominance of married women with their children, but few with their husbands.

He saw several problems:

1. The wife had the responsibility of spiritual responsibility and leadership thrust upon her when it was his role and function.

2. She would often be resentful and
a) nag and manipulate her husband to take up his responsibilities or
b) trudge on with building resentment and do, alone and often poorly, a job God never equipped her to fulfill-perhaps finally giving up to the ultimate detriment of the children, the marriage, and the wellbeing and health of the Church.

The example the father gave his children to see and imitate tells them the Church and the crucified, dead, buried, and resurrected Jesus, and all that it means-is a ridiculous humbug, not worth getting up for on Sunday morning or devoting any effort to it at all at any other time.

3. In short, the problem with Christianity, the Church, and Western Civilization is renegade men who refuse to lead their families as the functional high priest in their homes.

In the light of this Rockwell’s painting is a little less amusing and maybe is making a point worth considering.
