I think that is more offensive than anything a Christian could tell you. At least I believe you are made in the image of God, deserving of love and dignity, and that you are here to serve a purpose.
I'd like to throw in my two cents here as well.
I don't find it offensive at all. I'm an existentialist. In my view, our existence only has whatever meaning we give it as individuals. The rest of the cosmos got along fine before I was born, and I trust it will do so after I die.
From my perspective, you find meaning in faith and scripture, I find mine elsewhere. To each his own. For what its worth, I can understand why a person of faith might take offense to it.
