Because you were responding specifically to an out of context quote of 
mine, where, if it had been given in context, the meaning would have 
been sufficiently changed as to invalidate your argument.

When I gave the quote, I was stating that I used it when explaining 
Theosophy to Westerners; in other words, those who already believe in a 
personal God who created heaven and earth, with a male personal pronoun. 
Using the idiom of their own religious beliefs to give a basic concept.
