It is possible and entertaining to have reasonable, happy, but hypocritical atheist friends and acquaintances. However, some non-believers are angry, mean, hateful people. What made them this way? Perhaps, pain, rejection, abuse, etc.

The problem with non-religious people is that usually assume that you, the believer, think of yourself as being better than they are, the non-believer. While this may be the case once and awhile, true believers are actually very humble and very aware of their own sinful shortcomings. Put bluntly, I am not offended by the hostility of non-believers, I am saddened and it causes me to wonder who could have harmed them in some way, preventing them from believing in the one, true God.

If this doesn't read like a spaceship landing on top of Mt. Sinai, I don't know what does:

Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently. As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.

- Exodus 19:17-19

Here's the interpretation:

I. Mount Sinai was covered with smoke = exhaust fumes from the spaceship

II. the LORD descended on it in fire = a spaceship landed there

III. the whole mountain trembled violently = the weight of the spaceship caused seismic activity

IV. As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him = Blares and sounds from a two-way technologically-advanced loudspeaker/communication system
