The human condition ("Being Human") is one in which death is always at our heels. We can, and most people do, deny that death has any relevance for us personally, but that denial only turns death into a source of psychological and spiritual pathology. In dismissing the Christian hope of life, postmodern thought is left with no basis for asserting any enduring or universal meaning or purpose to life. Nothing is left but a vague and unreassuring notion that all will be well beyond death for no reason other than wee think that would be nice.
