That is what the speaker claims, but why would a claim that the
speaker makes and that you don't believe offend you? Only because
it is about some god, I suppose. Or are you offended by any
claim with which you disagree?

But that would be a grammatical mistake, {lo} is not used for
specific reference. It would offend my sense of the language too,
but not for religious reasons.
