You can't change the answer to a question just because you don't like the answer.

This is also a false dichotomy, since those aren't the only two options. We could have been created by some other agent that is neither a god nor a natural process (advanced aliens for example).

And finally, it is mildly offensive because it implies that without belief in god people can have no meaning in their lives, when nothing could be further from the truth. It just means that the meaning they find isn't the same one you have.
Then what is the meaning of life with no existence of a God or outside party? Collectively as humans what are we? For a second who cares about how nice we are.
