I think, to be fair, it is not so much the god message that is offensive, rather, it is the notion that people of faith are just sooo arrogant and self indulgent in their knowledge of the 'truth'.

As an athiest (read Humanist) I get really wild when I am told that 'God loves Athiests too'

Why not just tell me that I'm stupid and incapable of rational thought?

Along the lines of what Melanie said about Aushwitz - My main line of employment is in Psychiatry. I see everyday the product of delusional and distorted thinking. In 22 years as a specialist I have never really been able to define the difference between believing in aliens and believing in god! - There simply is no evidence for either!

Just because 90% of the people of the world beleive that god exists doesn't make it so - lets face it, 500 years ago 100% of Chrisondom beleived the world was flat, and every one of them was wrong!

Be good to each other
