You've never read a philosopher writing about gods? Ever checked out David Hume? Take a break from Dean for a while.
To answer your question, a large bunny living on Mars could love me and my life still wouldn't matter to the universe. Think of reality as a really large pond. Our lives are snowflakes landing on the water. Hardly a ripple. If thinking gods care about you and therefore your life has meaning makes you able to get through the day, then that's what you have to do. I don't.
