RE: Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.

I'll give you an example. I'm not sure if you have children or not, but suppose you do. If your child was killed, you would probably think that would be bad. You would most likely think so because you believe that your child is of value; that your child had worth and purpose. Do you think that your child actually has worth or value or purpose, "meaning", or is that meaning to your childs life merely illusory, a figment of your perception as the father?
