It would be emotionally unpleasant if it was so. Yes, and? The world isn't dictated by how you feel.
It seems to me the "argument" can be stated this way:
There is an unpleasant fact about the world (that I will one day die and my life will not have an eternal significance), but if God existed there wouldn't be such a fact. Therefore: God exists!
Which can be basically boiled down: I don't like it so it can't be true.
None of those are valid arguments.
Also, how does the existence of God suddenly impart existence with "ultimate significance"? What is that, even?
