Dublin Core Metadata

description: Smith looks at the power of death and that it takes away all meaning from life, as nothing will last. This must be resolved before we can address political issues. He looks at the concept of 'mateship' and that this is in a clash with Christ's teaching, especially as seen in Australian poetry and films. Without God, life has no meaning, and how non-believers do to seek meaning.Smith shows that western society finds meaning in other things, but that these things never give us full meaning. He examines the conflict between the different places people find meaning, and that the rules are constantly changed and undervalued with an illustration of empty frames in a gallery.Smith explains that with God things that we have made the meaning/idol suddenly has real meaning, but is not the meaning of life.Smith explores the meaningless of life without Christ, including from secular society.
