[.. Rather, it's the west that seems to be spiritually-deprived, overindulged in the physical, material pleasures and the love of the world. ..]

Not in my experience of RCC, EOC, and so-called protestant sects.. They ALL think a human is a physical body.. They even think Jesus is a physical body.. The human body is a conduit of the spirit.. made extremely clear by the New Testament especially Pauls ministry.. The human body was made for that purpose.. and ALL life on this planet was made for that purpose.. A human was created to find out they are really spirit(s).. For that express reason..

Oh, boy! Next thing you will tell me He really didn't die a physical death on the Cross? It was all an illusion, right?
